Support for ROS2?

[eugval]

Hello,

First of all, thank you for all the tools that are provided, these are really helpful!

We would like to migrate our lab's ROS installation to ROS2, and I would appreciate any info on the following:

1. Is there currently support of ROS2 for the intera packages?
2. If not, are you planning to migrate the intera_sdk and sawyer_robot repos to ROS2?
3. What about Noetic, would the intera packages be compatible?
4. I assume that migrating intera_sdk and sawyer_robot packages to ROS2 is not just a matter of a few simple steps, but if it is could you please give some guidance (or perhaps for migrating to Noetic instead)?

I really appreciate any info you could give me on these.

Many Thanks!

No the SDK currently does not support ROS2

What about Noetic, would the intera packages be compatible?

The current master branch is compatible with Noetic, we migrated it recently.

I am curious if there is any roadmap for ROS2 support any time soon.

Hi @davidau8195 ,

This will unfortunately take some time. Do not expect any results soon.

Regards,
Matthias

One option is to use the ros1_bridge to work around the issue. You may find this Dockerfile to be a useful reference.
