ROS Discourse General: BNO055 I2C node in C++ for ROS1/ROS2 -- how to avoid dual CMakeLists.txt?

I’ve been MIA in the robotics/ROS scene for a while, just coming back to revive some old work and port it to ROS2.

I have, in the past, created dual ROS1+ROS2 packages (that work in both colcon and catkin), e.g.

I’m however having trouble figuring out a way to do the same for a C++ node since I can’t use the same conditionals in CMakeLists.txt. Here’s my best shot at an update of my BNO055 I2C node in C++:

As you can see there are two CMakeLists.txt files, one for ROS1 and one for ROS2. Copying the correct one to “CMakeLists.txt” will enable this repo to work in ROS1 or ROS2 respectively.

Is there any way to combine these two into one CMakeLists.txt and avoid the extra step?

ROS Discourse General: ROS2: How to achieve visual recognition with AgileX Limo ROS2?

Limo is a smart educational robot published by AgileX Robotics. More details please visit: https://global.agilex.ai/

808f249cb1f134a0088fbe659c204d9b_original

Vision-based Line Following

Logic

  1. Firstly, the camera needs to be initialized. The image information is obtained by subscribing to the messages published by the camera, and the image is converted to the OpenCV format.
  2. The obtained image is preprocessed, including operations such as grayscale conversion, Gaussian blur, and edge detection.
  3. The preprocessed image is binarized to convert it into a black and white binary image.
  4. Morphological operations, such as dilation, erosion, and opening, are applied to the binary image to enhance line detection.
  5. Hough transform is used to detect lines, which are then drawn on the image.
  6. By analyzing the slope and position of the detected lines, the direction in which the robot needs to turn is determined, and the robot is controlled to move towards the target direction.

Implementation
Launch the camera.

ros2 launch astra_camera dabai.launch.py

Place the robot in the simulation table and activate the vision-based line following function.

ros2 run limo_visions detect_line

follow_lane
The lane on the simulation table will be recognized.

Color Tracking

Visual color tracking is an object detection and tracking technique based on image processing, which allows real-time tracking and localization of objects of specific colors.

Logic

  1. Initialize ROS node and camera subscriber: First, you need to initialize a ROS node using the rclcpp library in ROS2, and create a subscriber to subscribe to image messages. Convert the image messages from ROS to OpenCV format using the cv_bridge library.
  2. Define color range and mask: In this code, we will take the blue color target as an example for tracking. First, define a range object in OpenCV to represent the color range. Then, use the inRange function in OpenCV to convert the image to a binary mask, which filters out the target region for further processing.
  3. Detect and draw bounding boxes: The target region in the mask may contain noise and other non-target regions. To identify the exact position of the target region, you can use the findContours function in OpenCV to find the contours and use the boundingRect function to calculate the bounding box of the target region. Then, use the rectangle function to draw the bounding box on the original image.
  4. Publish the target position: Lastly, you can use a publisher in ROS2 to publish the target position to other nodes for further control and navigation.

Implementation
Launch the camera.

ros2 launch astra_camera dabai.launch.py

Place the colored block within the view range of the limo and activate the color tracking function:

ros2 run limo_visions object_detect

rgb_v2

QR Code Tracking

A QR code is a graphic composed of black and white elements, which records data and symbol information. It is arranged on a plane according to specific rules and geometric shapes in a two-dimensional direction. In its encoding, it cleverly utilizes the concepts of “0” and “1” bit streams, which form the fundamental basis of internal computer logic. Several geometric shapes corresponding to binary are used to represent textual and numerical information, enabling automatic reading through image input devices or photoelectric scanning equipment to achieve automated information processing.

QR code shares common features with barcode technology, such as each coding system having its own specific character set, each character occupying a designated width, and incorporating specific verification functions. Additionally, it has the capability to automatically identify different lines of information and process changes resulting from graphic rotation.

In ROS2, the aruco_ros function package is utilized for QR code identification. aruco_ros is a function package developed based on OpenCV, written in C++, and provides a C++ interface.

Generate QR code:

URL to generate QR code: Online ArUco markers generator; you can generate different QR codes according to your own needs

The QR code used in this example is:
aruco-0

Implementation

Launch the camera.

ros2 launch astra_camera dabai.launch.py

Place the QR code within the field of view of Limo, and activate the QR code recognition function.

ros2 launch aruco_ros single.launch.py

Launch the QR code recognition function.

ros2 run limo_visions move_to_ar

rgb_v5

Traffic light recognition

Logic:

  1. Initialize the ROS2 node and create an image subscriber and image publisher.
  2. Read the image and convert it to HSV color space.
  3. Define the color range of red and green and apply it to the image through the inRange function to obtain a binary image.
  4. Perform morphological operations on binary images to remove noise and fill holes.
  5. Find the contours in the image through the findContours function, and find the circumscribed circle of each contour through the minEnclosingCircle function.
  6. For each circumscribed circle, calculate its area and center coordinates. If the area is larger than the threshold and the center of the circle is within the predefined traffic light area, it can be marked as a traffic light.
  7. Draw the circumscribed circle of the traffic light in the original image and publish it to the ROS2 topic.
  8. Repeat the above steps in a loop and wait for the next image to arrive.

Implementation：
Launch the camera.

ros2 launch astra_camera dabai.launch.py

Place the QR code within the field of view of Limo, and activate the traffic light recognition function.

ros2 run limo_visions detect_traffic

rgb_v3

ROS Discourse General: Ros2_documentation provides html artifacts via github action

Hi ROS developers and maintainers,

Just a quick announcement for documentation development.

Now ros2_documentation provides html artifacts via github action for every commit of Pull Request.

image

Click on html-artifacts to download html files built with incoming changes.

What was the problem?

It is kinda burden for developers and maintainers to build the html from incoming PR to make sure how it looks like during review process. besides, this happens several times for each PR…

Solution

Using github action artifacts to upload the html files in every commit. So that we can see html files with incoming changes only with downloading.

What’s in it for us?

for developers, they can see the html artifacts built with proposed PR to verify.
for maintainers, it makes easier to check how the final html files look like with downloading the artifacts.

Originally issued: prebuilt html artifacts can help the review for each PR? · Issue #4543 · ros2/ros2_documentation · GitHub

always welcome further improvement and ideas, please share your thoughts.

thanks,
Tomoya

ROS Discourse General: What do you use instead of rosmon for ROS2?

I find myself wanting a tool like rosmon for my ROS2 projects. Looking at the rosmon github repo, the maintainer has no explicit plans to swap to ROS2 in the foreseeable future. So my question is what does the ROS community use for node management in ROS2?

I am aware of ROS2 node lifecylces, however a clean interface like rosmon gives would be nice, instead of using CLI commands.

ROS Discourse General: RoboCup Home challenge solved with BT-Studio

Hi folks,

a new (complex) robot challenge has been solved using BT-Studio, the JdeRobot web tool for creating BehaviorTree based robotics applications.

This new demo, called recepcionist, is a combination of various challenges from the 2022 edition of the RoboCup@Home that have been simplified in order to get a simple yet complex demo. Recepcionist consist of robot acting as a party host, it greets the guests at the door, accompanies them to the couch, brings them drinks and continues. It is made by combining nodes that interact with the blackboard, others that do not and also nodes that call actions, nav2 that is used to control the movement of the robot. This shows that the possibilities of what can be created using BT-Studio are endless.

This is a step forward beyond simple applications such as Person Following .

ROS Discourse General: OGC GeoPose Package

Hi all,

I’ve been working on a geospatial standard - OGC GeoPose - a standard for encoding the real world position and orientation of a real or digital object in relation to the physical world in a shared geospatial frame of reference. We’re keen for this to be utilised by anyone that would find this useful, and there may be many who use ROS that may. You can see the encodings of the different message types at OGC GeoPose 1.0 Data Exchange Draft Standard. The Standard contains:

I’ve created ROS packages in the past but only locally. For publishing to the wider community once I’ve coded everything up as ogc_geopose_msgs, do I just go through the process detailed at First Time Release — ROS 2 Documentation: Foxy documentation?

Anyway, I’m quite keen to hear from anyone in the ROS community that would be interested in this, to get an idea of how they might use GeoPose, plus any comments, questions etc.

ROS Discourse General: Interoperability Interest Group June 6, 2024: Preview of the RMF Site Editor

Community Page

Meeting Link

Calendar Link

In an effort to improve the usability and extensibility of RMF, we’ve been working on an experimental side project to create a whole new kind of editor. We’re getting close to launching its first release, and we thought it would be a good time to demonstrate its capabilities to the community.

This new editor, called the “Site Editor”, is foremost a replacement for the old traffic editor, so its core capabilities are:

But beyond that, the site editor opens up new possibilities that would not have been feasible with the old traffic editor. Since it was developed on top of the Bevy video game engine, it will be possible for downstream users to extend and customize its capabilities. Users could even develop and sell a commercial product built on top of it.

The site editor is cross-platform, being able to compile to a native desktop application on Linux, Windows, and macOS. It can even run in a web browser by compiling to Web Assembly. This opens up exciting opportunities to develop commercial applications locally even if you intend to deploy them to customers as a web service.

At this session, we will do a quick demonstration of using the site editor to partially build a hotel environment. If you’re familiar with using the old traffic editor, you’ll immediately see how much smoother the new workflow is. Feel free to bring in ideas for additional features that would make your workflows easier or more expressive.

ROS Discourse General: New ROS Development Python Tools - ros_glint, ros_command and more

PythonStuff

tl;dr: Five new Python libraries to help with ROS development are available now via pip:

Background

Back in 2015, I released a tool called roscompile with the goal of automating all the annoying meta-information in catkin packages. It largely stems from the fact that I’m bad at remembering to install stuff in CMake and that I wrote so many pluginlib plugins that it made sense to automate the process of writing the plugin definition files. I talked about it in my ROS World 2020 Lightning Talk.

But roscompile only works for ROS 1. And rather than port it directly, and maintain two separate versions of the code, I made the questionable decision to make a new library that handled both ROS 1 and ROS 2, and was not a ROS package at all, but an independent python package.

The result is the above five Python packages, available via pip.

ros_glint

“Make your ROS code sparkle!”

Run glint_ros in any folder with ROS packages (1 or 2) and it will suggest meta-data fixes interactively for you to apply.

New features:

I prioritized testing over documentation on this one, and I know I’ll need to circle around to that eventually.

ros_command

I announced ros_command over two years ago, and now its available as a pip package. Other new features in that time:

ROS Discourse General: AI/ML Models & Framework Security Architecture Systems Community Meetings

Hello Everyone,

My name is Ronaldson Bellande. I am a PhD student and the Founder and CEO/CTO of a startup, as well as an executive in research organizations and a laboratory.

I am interested in starting a community group dedicated to AI/ML Model & Framework Security Architecture Systems. One critical issue we face is the lack of sufficient security for models; they are often deployed without adequate safeguards. My focus will be on enhancing security in AI and Machine Learning applications within robotics and related fields. We will address this challenge by testing and refining robust model structures and frameworks I have developed, as well as gathering feedback to ensure they can be accessed individually or separately for optimal protection.

I will also present the importance of this approach, discussing the benefits and drawbacks of various and my architecture systems for models.

I look forward to seeing who is interested in joining the community group. Please feel free to express your interest.
