Blue 🌊

Blue is a ROS 2 pipeline designed to support development, testing, and deployment of underwater vehicles. To get started with Blue, please refer to the project documentation.

Main Features

The main features of Blue include:

  • Support for custom controllers implemented using auv_controllers and localization algorithms implemented using marine_localization
  • Vehicle models and configurations for simulation using Gazebo
  • CI/CD pipelines to help you deploy your software in the same environment that you performed development and testing in
  • A development environment that includes many of the tools that you need to develop software for underwater vehicles
