Welcome to the FIWARE IoT Agent for ROS 2

An Internet of Things Agent for the Robot Operating System (ROS 2) (with HTTP). This IoT Agent is designed to be a bridge between robotics systems running the ROS 2 Middleware and the NGSI interface of a context broker.

ROS (Robot Operating System) is an open source software development kit for robotics applications. Ready-made drivers, state-of-the-art algorithms, and powerful developer tools are some of its key features. Step by step ROS is becoming a standard software platform that allows developers across multiple industries to successfullly carry out ambitious robotics projects at all stages, from research and prototyping all the way through to deployment and production.

This Internet of Things Agent is a bridge that can be used to communicate devices using the ROS 2 Middleware and NGSI Context Brokers (like Orion). The south port of the agent implements a ROS 2 client which is based on the rclnodejs library.
The north port handles the NGSI interactions and is based on the IoT Agent Node.js Library. Further general information about the FIWARE IoT Agents framework, its architecture and the common interaction model can be found in the library's GitHub repository.

The User Manual and the Admin Guide of the ROS 2 IoT Agent cover more advanced topics of this robotics interface for NGSI brokers.
