Here at micro-ROS, after reviewing our most recent accomplishments and dusting off our To-Do list, we drafted the roadmap for the next months of development and designed an exciting plan for the Galactic release.
Our priorities will be:
- Migrating all functionalities to the
rclc, so as to convert it into the default micro-ROS user API and an independent abstraction layer on top of thercl. Namely, the missing features to achieve this goal are:- Implement parameters in
rclc, together with a dedicated parameters manager in the Agent. - Migrate actions to the
rclc, as we recently did with services. - Migrate graphs to the
rclc, based on their recent implementation both in thermwand in the Agent.
- Implement parameters in
- Adapt micro-ROS packages and CI to the rolling release before Galactic is out.
- Implement and polish a mature peer-to-peer functionality to achieve brokerless communication among Clients.
- Additional improvements: continue to improve the stability and extend the capability of the middleware layer, evaluating which efforts are worthy to be addressed (e.g. implement multi-threading)
