Adds saltybot_bringup/launch/full_stack.launch.py: a single launch file that brings up the entire SaltyBot software stack in dependency order, with mode selection (indoor / outdoor / follow). Launch sequence (wall-clock delays): t= 0s robot_description (URDF + TF) t= 0s STM32 bidirectional serial bridge t= 2s sensors (RPLIDAR A1M8 + RealSense D435i) t= 2s cmd_vel safety bridge (deadman + ramp + AUTONOMOUS gate) t= 4s UWB driver (MaUWB DW3000 anchors on USB) t= 4s CSI cameras — 4x IMX219 (optional, enable_csi_cameras:=true) t= 6s SLAM — RTAB-Map RGB-D+LIDAR (indoor only) t= 6s Outdoor GPS nav (outdoor only) t= 6s YOLOv8n person detection (TensorRT) t= 9s Person follower (UWB primary + camera fusion) t=14s Nav2 navigation stack (indoor only) t=17s rosbridge WebSocket server (port 9090) Modes: indoor — SLAM + Nav2 + full sensor suite + follow + UWB (default) outdoor — GPS nav + sensors + follow + UWB (no SLAM) follow — sensors + UWB + perception + follower only Launch arguments: mode, use_sim_time, enable_csi_cameras, enable_uwb, enable_perception, enable_follower, enable_bridge, enable_rosbridge, follow_distance, max_linear_vel, uwb_port_a, uwb_port_b, stm32_port Also updates saltybot_bringup/package.xml: - Adds exec_depend for all saltybot_* packages included by full_stack - Updates maintainer to sl-jetson Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Jetson Nano — AI/SLAM Platform Setup
Self-balancing robot: Jetson Nano dev environment for ROS2 Humble + SLAM stack.
Stack
| Component | Version / Part |
|---|---|
| Platform | Jetson Nano 4GB |
| JetPack | 4.6 (L4T R32.6.1, CUDA 10.2) |
| ROS2 | Humble Hawksbill |
| DDS | CycloneDDS |
| SLAM | slam_toolbox |
| Nav | Nav2 |
| Depth camera | Intel RealSense D435i |
| LiDAR | RPLIDAR A1M8 |
| MCU bridge | STM32F722 (USB CDC @ 921600) |
Quick Start
# 1. Host setup (once, on fresh JetPack 4.6)
sudo bash scripts/setup-jetson.sh
# 2. Build Docker image
bash scripts/build-and-run.sh build
# 3. Start full stack
bash scripts/build-and-run.sh up
# 4. Open ROS2 shell
bash scripts/build-and-run.sh shell

Power Budget (Summary)
| Scenario | Total |
|---|---|
| Idle | 2.9W |
| Nominal (SLAM active) | ~10.2W |
| Peak | 15.4W |
Target: 10W (MAXN nvpmodel). Use RPLIDAR standby + 640p D435i for compliance.
