metrics_msgs

A collection of useful ROS interfaces for measuring ::hand-wave:: things

No relation to the ros_metrics project.

metro_benchmark_msgs

Contains one message at the moment, ComputeTime.

std_msgs/Header header
builtin_interfaces/Duration duration

string id         # optional
string parent_id  # optional

See actual definition for further description of the fields.

metro_benchmark_pub

Contains a helper class in Python and C++ for publishing ComputeTime messages, including support for nested computation.

collision_log_msgs

Contains the NamedCollisions message definition for tracking collisions between objects.

std_msgs/Header header
collision_log_msgs/NamedCollisions[] collisions
    string entity0
    string entity1

It is a simplified version of gazebo_msgs/ContactsState.msg but has the following features.

• Not Gazebo specific
• Can be used in non-simulation contexts
• Cleaner memory footprint (aka fewer fields)
