Autonomy Toolkit

Autonomy Toolkit

The Autonomy Toolkit, dubbed autonomy-toolkit, is meant to be a simplified mechansim for quickly setting up and developing a ROS 2 based control stack. The autonomy-toolkit platform is under activate development by the Simulation Based Engineering Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Background

The autonomy-toolkit platform provides the following resources for expediting development of autonomous algorithms:

1. A development workflow for writing and testing ROS 2 code
2. A mechansim for easily generating custom images for use with the ROS 2 stack
3. A wrapper for Docker Compose to improve user experience

Furthermore, the Autonomy Research Testbed, which utilizes this toolbox, provides the following functionality:

1. A parts list and instructions on how to build the physical platform
2. A high-fidelity simulation environment built using Chrono to test autonomous algorithms

For more information about the design considerations and purpose for this project, see the background section.
