Overview

The bwi_logging ROS package provides nodes and scripts for collecting, analysing and uploading log data when running BWI robots.

ROS interface

record node

This ROS node is a wrapper for the standard rosbag record command, which it invokes after changing to an appropriate logging directory.

The goal of this node is to choose a good place to save the bags. When necessary, intermediate directories will be created, with group write permissions, if possible.

Subscribed topics

All topics passed as command arguments will be subscribed by the rosbag command, which this node launches.

Parameters

~directory (string, default: ~/.ros/bwi/bwi_logging)

: An explicit directory for saving ROS topic bag files.

If the directory is not accessible, bags are saved in /tmp/bwi/bwi_logging, instead.

Usage

rosrun bwi_logging record topic1 [ topic2 ... ]

Where each topic is the name of a ROS topic to record.

record launch script

This ROS launch script runs the record node with appropriate parameters.

Arguments

directory (string, default: ~/.ros/bwi/bwi_logging)

: An explicit directory for saving ROS topic bag files.

topics (string, default: odom amcl_pose /diagnostics)

: The ROS topics to record.

Usage

To record the usual topics in the usual place:

roslaunch bwi_logging record

To record different topic names:

roslaunch bwi_logging record topics:='filtered_odom /diagnostics /tf'

To write the bag file in a different place:

roslaunch bwi_logging record directory:="~bwilab/.ros/bwi/bwi_logging"
