Requirements

  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • ROS 2 Foxy
  • camera_info_manager
  • image_transport

2. Using Docker

Requirements

  • Visual Studio Code
  • ROS 2: Foxy/Dashing
  • Docker

Step 1: Clone source code and Open in container - VS Code

Open In Container

Open In Container

Step 2: Wait for Docker pull and start your contributions

II. Demo

1. VIA Simulation Autopilot

This demo shows how to run VIA Autonomous to control a self-driving car in simulation environment.

  • Download the Simulation here - Only Linux suppported for now, you can clone the source code and build your simulation for other OSes.

  • Run the simulation and select a map.

  • Build all packages

sh scripts/build.sh
source install/setup.bash
  • Run autonomous stack
ros2 launch via_bringup via_car_simulation.py

2. Camera node demo

This demo shows you how to use VIA generic_camera_node to capture images from a camera and publish them to a ROS topic.

  • Build all packages
sh scripts/build.sh
source install/setup.bash
  • Launch camera node
ros2 launch generic_camera_node camera_node.launch.py
  • Start camera stream
ros2 service call /camera/start std_srvs/srv/Trigger "{}"
  • Open image viewer to see the published images
ros2 run rqt_image_view rqt_image_view
  • Stop camera stream
ros2 service call /camera/stop std_srvs/srv/Trigger "{}"

III. Issues

1. No ROS node name when using ros2 node list:

Restart ROS 2 deamon:

bash scripts/restart_ros2_deamon.sh

2. Missing ROS 2 packages?

Please ensure that you have built the project with sh scripts/build.sh and sourced the installation environment:

source install/setup.bash
