ROS driver
ROS packages for interfacing with Velodyne 3D LIDAR sensors in robotics applications.
What is ROS driver?
Velodyne is a collection of ROS packages that provide drivers and tools for Velodyne 3D LIDAR sensors. It enables robotics systems to interface with these high-definition laser scanners, converting raw sensor data into ROS-compatible point cloud messages for perception and navigation tasks.
Robotics engineers and researchers working with ROS who need to integrate Velodyne LIDAR sensors into their autonomous systems, mapping applications, or perception pipelines.
This project provides officially-supported, reliable ROS drivers for Velodyne LIDARs, saving developers from writing custom sensor interfaces and ensuring compatibility with the broader ROS ecosystem.
