[ros-users] Dynamic Deployment and Control of Nodes

[Morten Kjærgaard]

Hi

I am planning on creating a graphical tool to give mode dynamic control of what nodes are started and the names of the topics they subscribe to.
This will probably require some changes in the core of my ROS system, but it seems to be possible.

The motive is to improve the deployment- and parameter management when creating a new robot system based on existing ROS packages. And make it possible to relate this to a robot model. Instead of only having to rely on static hardcoded launch files.

I would like to hear from anyone who has experience with a similar approach or are otherwise interested in a management tool like this.

Best regards,
