RclRust

This is yet another ROS2 client library written in Rust.
I have implemented it independent of the ament or colcon.
By using proc-macro to generate message-type and service-type code, crate dependency resolution can now be completed in cargo. This was inspired by rosrust

Supporting Environments

• Rust: 1.53+
• ROS2:
  • Foxy (doc)
  • Galctic (doc)
  • Rolling (doc)
• OS:
  • Ubutnu
• DDS:
  • Fast DDS (Default for Foxy)
  • Cyclone DDS (Default for Galactic+)

Supporting features

• Code generation from .msg, .srv, .action
• Loggers
• Publishers/Subscriptions
• Services/Clients
• Timers
• Parameters (without services)

TODO

• Parameter services/clients
• Actions
• Lifecycles
• More
  • Unit test
  • Documentation
  • Examples (especially with ament)
• etc...

Distribution

RclRust is supporting multiple distributions by using cargo features.
If you use a fixed distribution, set features in Cargo.toml as follows.

rclrust = { git = "https://github.com/rclrust/rclrust.git", features = ["foxy"] }

Otherwise, do not set features in Cargo.toml and pass target features like --featuers rclrust/${ROS_DISTRO} on build.

rclrust = { git = "https://github.com/rclrust/rclrust.git" }

Examples

Prepare

$ git clone git@github.com:rclrust/rclrust.git
$ cd rclrust
$ cargo build

Pub/Sub

Publisher:

$ cargo run --features <distro> --examples publisher

Subscription

$ cargo run --features <distro> --examples subscription

Other examples are here, and examples with colcon are here.
