rosnode

Retrieve information about ROS network nodes

Description

example

rosnode listreturns a list of all nodes registered on the ROS network. Use these nodes to exchange data between MATLAB®and the ROS network.

rosnode infonodenamereturns a structure containing the name, URI, publications, subscriptions, and services of a specific ROS node,nodename.

rosnode pingnodenamepings a specific node,nodename, and displays the response time.

nodelist= rosnode("list")returns a cell array of character vectors containing the nodes registered on the ROS network.

example

nodeinfo= rosnode("info",nodename)returns a structure containing the name, URI, publications, subscriptions, and services of a specific ROS node,nodename.

example

rosnode("ping",nodename)pings a specific node,nodenameand displays the response time.

Note:This example requires a valid ROS network to be active with ROS nodes previously set up.

Connect to the ROS network. Specify the IP address for your specific network.

rosinit('192.168.17.128')
初始化全局节点/垫lab_global_node_99071 with NodeURI http://192.168.17.1:64076/

List the nodes available from the ROS master.

rosnodelist
/gazebo /laserscan_nodelet_manager /matlab_global_node_99071 /mobile_base_nodelet_manager /robot_state_publisher /rosout

Shut down the ROS network.

rosshutdown
Shutting down global node /matlab_global_node_99071 with NodeURI http://192.168.17.1:64076/

Connect to the ROS network. Specify the IP address for your specific network.

rosinit('192.168.17.128')
初始化全局节点/垫lab_global_node_96994 with NodeURI http://192.168.17.1:64267/

Get information on the '/robot_state_publisher' node. This node is available on the ROS master.

nodeinfo = rosnode('info','/robot_state_publisher')
nodeinfo =struct with fields:NodeName: '/robot_state_publisher' URI: 'http://192.168.17.128:43330/' Publications: [3×1 struct] Subscriptions: [2×1 struct] Services: [2×1 struct]

Shut down the ROS network.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Name of node, specified as a string scalar or character vector. The name of the node must match the name given in ROS.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Information about ROS node, returned as a structure containing these fields:NodeName,URI,Publications,Subscriptions, andServices. Access these properties using dot syntax, for example,nodeinfo.NodeName.

List of node names available, returned as a cell array of character vectors.
