Description

Hello,

we have 2 computers on our robot (A main industrial PC, and Jetson Xavier).
Currently, our setup consists of the main PC running on Ubuntu 22 with the ROS2 Humble version. I was hoping to generate a Visual Odometry pose on Jetson Xavier (realsense plugged) with installed ROS1 Noetic and fuse it with our other odometry poses (i.e. Wheel Odometry, IMUs plugged into PC)

as we realized that Xavier does not support directly Humble. isaac_ros_visual_slam available only on ROS2 (?), though we research I found:

What would be a best practice to establish communication between Humble Docker or installed natively ROS2 Foxy where Visual Odometry data is generated, and stream it somehow to our main PC?

all best

Research direction

Start with the linked ROS2 Humble Dockerfile and Isaac ROS NITROS Bridge documentation, then compare them with the linked ROS2 Foxy and Jetson setup information. Determine whether the proposed ROS1/ROS2, Docker, and native-install combinations support streaming visual odometry to the main PC; done means documenting a validated communication approach and its compatibility requirements.
