Following last month’s Stonefish talk, this month, we will have Emir Cem Gezer (@incebellipipo, GitHub) talk to us about ROS-MVP, where MVP stands for Marine Vehicle Packages, published at OCEANS 2022. Its release was announced on Discourse. There is a Stonefish wrapper for it.
NOTE: we will be using Zoom instead of Google Meet, because of a change in the organizers’ meeting recording privileges.
When: 2024-04-16T15:00:00Z→2024-04-16T16:00:00Z
Where: Virtual at Launch Meeting - Zoom (*NOTE different meeting link from previous months)
Calendar event: Google Calendar
Agenda: ROS Maritime Working Group meeting agenda - Google Docs
“ROS-MVP is a software stack to control and guide surface and underwater marine vehicles. It contains a control allocation module with a feedback controller to control the vessel and a state-based plugin-oriented mission planner. When it is coupled with the robot-localization package, it provides complete guidance, navigation, and control stack for marine vessels.”
Emir has also been active in the ongoing marine ROS Enhancement Proposal (REP) discussions, in the context of how people juggle different frame conventions to work with non-marine-specific packages, such as localization, in the ROS ecosystem.
We will update the group on the latest progress of the REP, and a few community events.
See you there!
P.S. Oh, right, full disclosure, I have departed from my employment as of Friday, March 29, 2024, as alluded to in last month’s meeting. I no longer work in the Open Robotics team at Intrinsic. Furthermore, I am taking April and May off as full-time me time (i.e. I will only check emails when I have nothing better to do, i.e. not often), before relocating for my next job. So I’m running this Community Group completely on good will now. Soon there will be help coming in (in the shape of @evan-palmer) as I transition.
