Nice! We're just starting a project using ROS, so I'm busy wrapping my head around it all. Have the motors turning and the 3D camera delivering data.

When you say it's a thin wrapper around DDS, are you using ROS 2 already?

Well, no. ROS 2 does a few things that our stack already does. ROS is a wonderful platform for open source / academic development and building community. We have a fairly tight requirement when doing gov / nasa work that doesn't always work with that model.
