Attention
As of June 30, 2025, the Isaac ROS Buildfarm for Isaac ROS 2.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal is no longer supported.
Due to an isolated infrastructure event, all ROS 2 Humble Debian packages that were previously built for Ubuntu 20.04 are no longer available in the Isaac Apt Repository. All artifacts for Isaac ROS 3.0 and later are built and maintained with a more robust pipeline.
Users are encouraged to migrate to the latest version of Isaac ROS. The source code for Isaac ROS 2.1
continues to be available on the release-2.1 branches of the Isaac ROS
GitHub repositories.
The original documentation for Isaac ROS 2.1 is preserved below.

Overview
Isaac ROS Mission Client provides the ROS 2 packages for Mission Client, which communicates to a robot fleet management service. Mission Client 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.
