• Somewhat lengthy discussion on the two amazon exercise packages that throw errors on running colcon build (rviz_plugins and controller packages)
• Task: Complete debugging them
• Advice for Task: ROS2 RADI using Web Template
  • Run existing ROS1 framework and analyze what differences would be required for ROS2
  • Understand Sakshay’s messages describing the web template architecture
  • Especially the idea of layers (GUI and HAL)
  • Idea for barebones task: Place a robot in Gazebo and echo pose in terminal
• Abstract intuition
  • ROS2 running in the backend
  • Connections and adding functionality in the frontend
  • Intention: Someone who is unfamiliar with ROS2 should still be able to run the exercise
• Crude idea of deliverable for barebones task
  • Serve Gazebo (and Rviz, eventually) with VNC
  • Few buttons to start and stop exercise
  • Allow for code to be accepted in the web’s text input
  • See if changes appear in the web template on running the code
