What is roc?

roc is a tool that wants to help you to develop ROS2 applications faster and easier. It is a collection of tools that are used to generate code, build and test your ROS2 applications. It is based on the ROS2 CLI.

Why roc?

roc aims to be a tool that will completely be written in RUST and at some point not relay on the ROS2 CLI anymore. This will allow us to have a tool that is faster and more reliable. It will also allow us to have a tool that can be used on other platforms like Windows.

Features

  • Generate ROS2 packages with a template system
  • Build ROS2 packages (colcon at the moment) but will be replaced by a custom build system
  • Adding missing feature that IMO ros2 cli should have like:
    • roc frame to work with tf frames, cordination systems and transformations
    • roc bridge to bridge topics between different ROS2 instances
  • Adding TUI (Text User Interface) to make it easier to work with ROS2

Notice

Almost all of this book is generated by LLM, i have just guided it through the code. If you see something not as in code or vice versa, please let knw (open a PR or something). This will help me guide the project further and not have a discrappancy between docs and code.
