ROS 2 Package

[umgefahren]

From the YC email:

Since ROS 2 is the standard operating system for robots, we have to write a package for it, that exposes all functionality of our networking stack, like the distributed hash table, the pub/sub service, file transfer, mesh neighbor discovery, etc., through ROS 2 native abstractions (topics, services and actions).

Since ROS 2 Packages are essentially binaries, we build a version of our normal binary with ROS specific features enabled and serve them with the necessary metadata.

We want to publish it on the ROS 2 package index along with usage documentation.

We have already prototyped a proof of concept.

The proof of concept already as a PR: #3

• Finish PoC
• Test PoC in real life scenario (or mininet)
• Automatic setup when installed as ROS package
• Publish as ROS component registry
