Docker Containers and Images for Robot Operating System (ROS)-Based Applications

reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1205155 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Docker is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. Containers allow a developer to package and ship out an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies. Herein, we investigate using a Docker image to deploy and run our Robot Operating System (ROS) based payload on a robot platform. Ultimately, this would allow us to quickly and efficiently deploy our payload on multiple platforms.
