sl-controls 82cb2bde79 feat: face display bridge node (Issue #394)
Implement ROS2 node bridging orchestrator state to face display expressions.
Maps /social/orchestrator/state and /saltybot/wake_word_detected to HTTP API.

Features:
- Subscribes to /social/orchestrator/state (JSON: IDLE, LISTENING, THINKING, SPEAKING, THROTTLED)
- Subscribes to /saltybot/wake_word_detected for immediate Alert response
- HTTP GET requests to face display server (configurable localhost:3000/face/{id})
- State to expression mapping:
  * IDLE → 0 (Tracking)
  * LISTENING → 1 (Alert)
  * THINKING → 3 (Searching)
  * SPEAKING → 4 (Social)
  * Wake word → 1 (Alert, immediate override)
- Publishes /face/state with JSON: {face_id, orchestrator_state, timestamp}
- Configurable face_server_url parameter
- Fallback to urllib if requests library unavailable

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.
