Request for Guidance on Integrating Autoware with a Delivery Robot using ROS 2 Humble and Ubuntu 22

[thomasankara]

Hello Autoware community!

I have a project to integrate Autoware on a delivery robot. I would like to know which branch you would recommend for starting the integration, knowing that I am working on ROS 2 Humble and Ubuntu 22. Thank you very much for your help.

If you want a fixed version you can use https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware/tree/release/v1.0 or any of the monthly releases (e.g., https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware/tree/release/2024.06).

Hello Maxime, thank you for your response. I've made good progress on reading the datasheet to get a handle on the software. There are so many packages, do you have a technique for determining which ones are essential and which ones I can remove? I'm excited to move forward with integrating the software into my robot!

You can see which nodes are launched by default in the different launch files located in https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.universe/tree/main/launch
My suggestion is to start from these launch files and remove the feature you do not want to use.
