A collection of utility packages for ROS/robotics projects. Refer to http://www.sherikov.net/sharf/ for more information.

This repository contains several utility packages designed for robotics and ROS applications:

A proxy ROS1/ROS2 package for Ariles serialization/configuration library, which supports multiple data formats including YAML, JSON, ROS parameters, ROS2 parameters, Octave script output, and name-value pairs. It provides a flexible way to handle configuration and serialization in robotics applications.

A ROS-compatible CMake wrapper for the dinit service manager, designed to replace or complement traditional launching mechanisms like roslaunch, ros2launch, tmux, and screen. It offers service management with startup ordering, runtime dependencies, and advanced failure handling, suitable for robotics applications requiring robust launch management.

A telemetry collection utility that addresses the same problem as pal_statistics and data_tamer but in a different way. It uses the ariles serialization library and keeps track of updated data instead of taking global snapshots. Features multiple backends including ROS2 topic publishing and MCAP file writing.

A simple C++17 thread supervisor that automatically restarts failed or finished threads.

A system statistics collection utility that accepts data in Graphite format and logs it to MCAP files. It's designed to work with tools like collectd for system monitoring, with output compatible with PlotJuggler for data analysis and visualization.

A logging library that writes plotjuggler_msgs to MCAP files without ROS dependencies. It incorporates FastCDR serializer, MCAP library, and pregenerated plotjuggler_msgs data structures, providing a complete solution for data logging without exposing its dependencies.
