ROS2

The Studica ROS2 driver acts as a hardware abstraction layer for the VMX platform. It exposes each hardware component — motors, sensors, servos, and input devices — as independent, configurable ROS2 nodes. Only components you explicitly enable will start.

The driver runs on Ubuntu 22.04 with ROS2 Humble and requires the VMX HAL library, which comes pre-installed on the official VMX OS image.
