Note

Repositories tagged with 🔗 are not hosted in the openads-project GitHub organization.

Development and Deployment#

Tool	Description	Teaser
openads_demo_module	Template for new OpenADS modules including the OpenADSuite development environment and CI/CD workflows as well as sample ROS 2 packages generated with ros2-pkg-create
ros2-pkg-create🔗	This tool is available in the provided base images and can be used to generate ROS 2 packages with different templates, e.g. for parameter loading, launch configurations, publishers/subscribers, services, action servers/clients, timers, diagnostics and more.
openads-dev-environment	Common development environment comprising default configurations of Visual Studio Code for linting/formatting, development containers and debugging that works out-of-the-box. Additionally contains CI workflow descriptions, a README generator and consistency checks that enforce unified conventions across repositories.
docker-ros🔗	The docker-ros GitHub/GitLab workflows automatically build development and deployment Docker images for your ROS-based repositories that include all specified dependencies. Also supports automated testing using the industrial_ci pipeline and creation of (minimal) slim deployment images.
docker-ros-ml-images🔗	Provides several Docker images on DockerHub including different combinations of `ROS` distros and different versions of `CUDA`, `TensorRT`, `Triton`, `PyTorch` and `TensorFlow`. These images can be used as base images in the docker-ros containerization pipeline.
docker-run🔗	CLI tool for simplified interaction with Docker images. Use it to easily start and attach to Docker containers with useful predefined arguments, e.g. for graphical output

Data and Visualization#

Tool	Description	Teaser
monitoring	Monitoring and visualization using RViz, with support for message definitions used in OpenADS.	-
ros2_graph_export	Exports ROS node and topic graphs
ros2_unbag🔗	GUI and CLI tool for exporting topics from ROS 2 bag files to formats such as CSV, JSON, PCD, and images.
ros2_unbag_plugins	OpenADSuite plugins for ros2_unbag, providing exports and integrations tailored to OpenADS workflows.	-

Interfaces and Data Models#

Repository	Description	Teaser
perception_interfaces🔗	ROS packages with common messages and tools relating to the perception task in automated driving and C-ITS
planning_interfaces🔗	ROS packages with common messages and tools relating to the behavior planning task of automated vehicles
etsi_its_messages🔗	ROS 2 Support for ETSI ITS Messages for V2X Communication
omega-prime🔗	Data Model, Format and Python Library for ground truth road traffic data containing information on dynamic objects, map and environmental factors optimized for representing urban traffic.
