Important - ROS is still [experimental](http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installation) for Windows, so the ROS bridge has only been tested for Linux systems. +The ROS bridge boasts the following features: ---- -## Requirements + Provides sensor data for LIDAR, Semantic LIDAR, Cameras (depth, segmentation, rgb, dvs), GNSS, Radar and IMU. + Provides object data such as transforms, traffic light status, visualisation markers, collision and lane invasion. + Control of AD agents through steering, throttle and brake. + Control of aspects of the CARLA simulation like synchronous mode, playing and pausing the simulation and setting simulation parameters. -Make sure that both requirements work properly before continuing with the installation. - -* __ROS Kinetic/Melodic__ — Install the ROS version corresponding to your system. Additional ROS packages may be required, depending on the user needs.

Here is a summary. - -* __CARLA release packages__ — Provide support for Python2 and Python3, so these can be used with any ROS version. -* __Windows build__ — Provides Support for the default Python installation in the system, so the ROS installation should match this. -* __Linux build__ — Provides support for Python3 by default (ROS Noetic).
