sl-perception 9d12805843 feat(bringup): visual odometry drift detector (Issue #260)
Adds sliding-window drift detector that compares cumulative path lengths
of visual odom and wheel odom over a configurable window (default 10 s).
Drift = |vo_path − wheel_path|; flagged when ≥ 0.5 m (configurable).
OdomBuffer handles per-source rolling storage with automatic age eviction.
Publishes Bool on /saltybot/vo_drift_detected and Float32 on
/saltybot/vo_drift_magnitude at 2 Hz.  27/27 pure-Python tests pass.

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.
