ROS TCP Connector
We're currently working on lots of things! Please take a short moment fill out our survey to help us identify what products and packages to build next.
Introduction
This repository contains two Unity packages: the ROS TCP Connector, for sending/receiving messages from ROS, and the Visualizations Package, for adding visualizations of incoming and outgoing messages in the Unity scene.
Installation
-
Using Unity 2020.2 or later, open the Package Manager from
Window->Package Manager. -
In the Package Manager window, find and click the + button in the upper lefthand corner of the window. Select
Add package from git URL....
-
Enter the git URL for the desired package. Note: you can append a version tag to the end of the git url, like
#v0.4.0or#v0.5.0, to declare a specific package version, or exclude the tag to get the latest from the package'smainbranch.- For the ROS-TCP-Connector, enter
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ROS-TCP-Connector.git?path=/com.unity.robotics.ros-tcp-connector. - For Visualizations, enter

Tutorials
<!-- Scripts used to send [ROS](https://www.ros.org/) messages to an [TCP endpoint](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ROS_TCP_Endpoint) running as a ROS node. -->This Unity package provides four main features:
-
ROSConnection: A component that sets up communication between ROS and Unity. See the Unity Robotics Hub for information and tutorials.
-
Message Generation: A tool to generate C# classes for ROS message types.
-
Visualizations: A suite of default configurations and APIs to visualize incoming and outgoing information from ROS.
- See the Nav2 SLAM Example for tutorials on using the Visualizations Package!
- You can also view the package's Usage Information for more details on using the package in your own project.
-
ROSGeometry: A set of extensions that convert geometries between Unity and other coordinate frames.
