ROS 2

ROS 2 expertise for mobile robotics

We design, develop and improve the reliability of ROS 2 architectures for mobile robots. From the first node graph to deployment on embedded computers, each component supports measurable field behavior.

R&D test bench for a mobile robot developed with ROS 2

ROS 2 architecture

Decoupled, observable and maintainable components.

Communication

Nodes, topics, services and actions

Define interfaces, QoS, namespaces, lifecycle nodes and composition based on latency and reliability requirements.

Coordinate frames

TF2, URDF and robot description

Kinematic modeling, consistent frames, transforms, calibration and RViz visualization.

Hardware

Drivers and ros2_control

Integrate sensors, actuators and controllers through CAN, serial, Ethernet or proprietary protocols.

Autonomy

Navigation, mapping and perception with ROS 2.

ROS 2 robot in an instrumented research arena

Production readiness

From simulation to embedded deployment.

Simulate

URDF models, Gazebo worlds and reproducible scenarios enable development before the hardware is complete.

Test

Rosbags, integration tests, latency measurements, diagnostics and validation under normal or degraded conditions.

Deploy

Containerization, launch files, configuration, monitoring, automatic startup and operating documentation.

Modernization

ROS 1 to ROS 2 migration and architecture audits.

We identify packages to port, dependencies to replace, interfaces to stabilize and expected benefits. Migration is staged to preserve critical functions and make testing reproducible.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which ROS 2 distribution should we choose?

The choice depends on the product lifecycle, operating system, drivers and dependencies. An LTS release is generally preferred for robots intended for field use.

Can you integrate Nav2 on an existing robot?

Yes, after validating kinematics, odometry, TF transforms, sensors and navigation requirements.

Do you work with specific cameras and LiDAR sensors?

Yes, provided a usable interface exists or can be developed. We handle integration, calibration and data evaluation.

Can you audit an unstable ROS 2 graph?

Yes. Analysis covers interfaces, QoS, TF, CPU and memory resources, message rates, logs and failure reproducibility.
