Plans to support ROS 2.0?

In your presentation: Using MATLAB and Simulink with ROS

You listed ROS 2.0 integration under "What's next?". Are you planing to release a ROS 2.0 Toolbox in the near future? If so, could you specify a approximate time for the release?

Answer 1

[MathWorks Robotics and Autonomous Systems Team]

As of R2019b, we are happy to state that the ROS Toolbox has support for ROS 2 Bouncy! Please see this page for an overview of supported features, and this page to get started with ROS 2.

We are not able to comment on plans for future features, but if you follow the release notes, you can see new features that have been added in new releases.

Awesome! Any roadmap/schedules for supporting the newer releases (Crystal or Dashing) and ROS bag support?

[MathWorks Robotics and Autonomous Systems Team]

Dashing Diademata is now supported in R2020a. The currently-supported ROS distributions can be found in the documentation here.

Support for ROS 1 rosbags has been available since R2015a. Support for the ROS 2 "rosbag2" format is still being looked into.
