ROS 2 Network Connection and Exploration
Connect to ROS 2 to prototype robotics applications and access robotics hardware
or simulators over a ROS network. You can create your own ROS network using
MATLAB® or connect to an existing ROS 2 network. To set up a ROS 2 network,
create a ROS 2 node using ros2node object.
You can access ROS 2 parameters using ros2param
object and its object functions.
The ros2rate
object helps control the timing of code execution.
You can also visualize a comprehensive overview of a ROS 2 network graph by using the ROS 2 Network Analyzer app.
