ros2_ouster_drivers
Legacy ROS2 drivers for Ouster OS-0, OS-1, and OS-2 lidars, providing sensor data processing and ROS interfaces.
What is ros2_ouster_drivers?
ROS2 Ouster Drivers is a legacy open-source ROS2 driver package for Ouster lidars (OS-0, OS-1, OS-2). It provides ROS interfaces to stream and process lidar data, including point clouds, laser scans, IMU readings, and various image representations. It solves the problem of integrating Ouster sensors into ROS2-based robotic systems for perception and navigation.
Robotics engineers and researchers who are deploying Ouster lidars in existing ROS2 applications and need a stable, legacy-compatible driver. It is also suitable for developers who require extensible driver architecture for custom data processing.
Developers choose this driver for its comprehensive ROS2 integration, support for multiple Ouster models, and extensible design that allows custom data processors and lidar unit implementations. However, for new projects, Ouster's official ROS2 driver is recommended.
