ROS 2 support #6784

Open kminoda opened 3 days ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am from Autoware community, which is an open sourced autonomous driving software based on ROS 2. We use RViz and sometimes Foxglove on a daily basis, but the former one is not a modern tool and the latter one is announced to become closed.

Describe the solution you'd like

Thus, including me, developers from ROS 2 and especially Autoware community are very interested in rerun for similar visualization feature, such as runtime visualization and offline visualization from ROSBAG with seek bar UI.

Describe alternatives you've considered

As stated above, we are using RViz and Foxglove. But RViz is not the best solution for some of our usecases, and Foxglove is going to be closed-sourced.

Yes, ROS2 is on our roadmap:
