Description
We integrated DDS, turns out manufacturers invent their types and DDS between robots is not compatible.
https://github.com/dimensionalOS/dimos/issues/1058
Can we create ROS compatible DDS encoding implementation that doesn't require working ros+ubuntu / rclpy installation?
This would be powerful since it would allow us to deploy anywhere, run ros in a docker, and talk to it directly via it's own protocol. without adding system level dep for ros.
Also potentially makes it easier to integrate new robots quickly since they do often offer a ros layer which does normalize a messaging standard as opposed to raw DDS
AFAIK no one has done this yet, but could be low hanging fruit
