sl-perception 672120bb50 feat(perception): geometric face emotion classifier (Issue #359)
Classifies facial expressions into neutral/happy/surprised/angry/sad
using geometric rules over MediaPipe Face Mesh landmarks — no ML model
required at runtime.

Rules
-----
  surprised: brow_raise > 0.12 AND eye_open > 0.07 AND mouth_open > 0.07
  happy:     smile > 0.025  (lip corners above lip midpoint)
  angry:     brow_furl > 0.02 AND smile < 0.01
  sad:       smile < -0.025 AND brow_furl < 0.015
  neutral:   default

Changes
-------
- saltybot_scene_msgs/msg/FaceEmotion.msg       — per-face emotion + features
- saltybot_scene_msgs/msg/FaceEmotionArray.msg
- saltybot_scene_msgs/CMakeLists.txt            — register new msgs
- _face_emotion.py   — pure-Python: FaceLandmarks, compute_features,
                        classify_emotion, detect_emotion, from_mediapipe
- face_emotion_node.py  — subscribes /camera/color/image_raw,
                           publishes /saltybot/face_emotions (≤15 fps)
- test/test_face_emotion.py  — 48 tests, all passing
- setup.py  — add face_emotion entry point

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. See docs/power-budget.md for full analysis.
