Full description

Turn your Android phone into a genuine ROS 2 node. ROS2 Sensor speaks RTPS/DDS natively — no rosbridge, no websocket, no companion computer. Point a stock "ros2 topic echo" at your network and your phone's sensors appear as ordinary ROS 2 topics. The phone IS the node. Perfect for robotics developers, students and researchers who want a real, moving sensor source in seconds — no wiring, no hardware. WHAT YOUR PHONE PUBLISHES • /imu/data — accelerometer + gyroscope + fused orientation • /mag — magnetometer • /pressure — barometer • /illuminance — ambient light • /gps/fix — GNSS location • /battery_state — battery level • /camera/image_raw/compressed — live JPEG camera • /android/pose — ARCore 6DOF tracked pose • /android/points — ARCore depth point cloud • /tf_static — sensor transforms WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Native DDS — works with stock Fast DDS out of the box. Verified against ROS 2 Jazzy and Humble with zero configuration on the ROS 2 side. • No bridge, no host — nothing to install on your robot or PC. • ARCore pose + depth — your phone becomes a 6DOF-tracked sensor with a live depth point cloud. Whether you're prototyping a robot, teaching ROS 2, or just need a quick IMU or GPS source in the field, ROS2 Sensor puts a real one in your pocket. Also available on iOS.

What's new

Initial release. Turn your Android phone into a native ROS 2 node — stream its IMU, magnetometer, GNSS, barometer, ambient light and battery sensors as ROS 2 topics over DDS. No rosbridge, no companion computer.
