Overview

Isaac ROS Cloud Control provides the ROS 2 packages for communication with a robot fleet management service, including Mission Client, a VDA5050-compatible client that receives tasks and actions from the fleet management service and updates its progress, state, and errors. Mission Client performs navigation actions with Nav2 and can be integrated with other ROS actions.

The communication to Mission Client is based on the VDA5050 protocol and uses MQTT fundamentals as the industry standard for a highly efficient, scalable protocol for connecting devices over the Internet.

Mission Client is provided with a matching Mission Dispatch available here, or can be integrated with other fleet management systems using VDA5050 over MQTT.
