Source code for morse.middleware.ros_datastream

""" The ROS 'datastream manager' is responsible for ROS topic management in
MORSE.  It publishes simulated sensors and subscribes to topics controlling
simulated actuators.

As you may have noticed, the
:py:class:`morse.middleware.ros_datastream.ROSDatastreamManager` class is
actually empty: contrary to sockets, for instance, that always use direct JSON
serialization of MORSE Python objects, there is no generic way to encode/decode
ROS messages.

Thus, `morse/middleware/ros` contains one specific
serialization/deserialization class for each sensor/actuator. These classes
inherit either from :py:class:`morse.middleware.ros.abstract_ros.ROSPublisher`
or from:py:class:`morse.middleware.ros.abstract_ros.ROSSubscriber`.

If you want to add support for a new type of topic, you likely want to add it
as a new serialization implementation in this directory.

Note also that management of ROS services and ROS actions takes place in
`ros_request_manager.py`.
