  1. Ross advocated that the Cherokee Nation remain neutral. It was a losing argument. At a general assembly on August 21, 1861, Ross ended his speech by announcing that in the interests of tribal and inter-Indian unity it was time to agree on an alliance with the Confederate States of America.

  • Units
  • Coordinate Frame Conventions

This REP provides a reference for the units and coordinate conventionsused within ROS.

Inconsistency in units and conventions is a common source ofintegration issues for developers and can also lead to softwarebugs. It can also create unnecessary computation due to dataconversion. This REP documents the standard conventions for ROS inorder to lessen these issues.

The scope of potential robotics software is too broad to require allROS software to follow the guidelines of this REP. However, choosing differentconventions should be well justified and well documented.

For example, there are domains where the default conventions are notappropriate. Interstellar lengths are not appropriately measured inmeters, and space-oriented libraries may wish to choose a differentconvention. There are other exceptions that different domains may wishto address.

We have chosen to standardize on SI units. These units are the mostconsistent international standard. SI units are maintained by BureauInternational des Poids et Mesures. [1] There is good documentationon Wikipedia for International System Of Units[2]

Base Units

These are the base units which are commonly used

QuantityUnit
lengthmeter
masskilogram
timesecond
currentampere

Derived Units

SI defines seven base units and many derived units. If you are not usingSI base units, you should use SI-derived units.

Good documentation can be found on Wikipedia about SI derived units[3]

Commonly used SI-derived units in ROS are:

QuantityUnit
angleradian
frequencyhertz
forcenewton
powerwatt
voltagevolt
temperaturecelsius
magnetismtesla

All coordinate frames should follow these conventions.

Chirality

All systems are right handed. This means they comply with the right hand rule[4].

Axis Orientation

In relation to a body the standard is:

  • x forward
  • y left
  • z up

For short-range Cartesian representations of geographic locations, use theeast north up[5] (ENU) convention:

Ros
  • X east
  • Y north
  • Z up

To avoid precision problems with large float32 values, it is recommended tochoose a nearby origin such as your system's starting position.

Suffix Frames

In the case of cameras, there is often a second frame defined with a'_optical' suffix. This uses a slightly different convention:

  • z forward
  • x right
  • y down

For outdoor systems where it is desirable to work under thenorth east down[6] (NED) convention, define an appropriately transformedsecondary frame with the '_ned' suffix:

  • X north
  • Y east
  • Z down

Rotation Representation

There are many ways to represent rotations. The preferred order is listed below, along with rationale.

  1. quaternion
  • Compact representation
  • No singularities
  1. rotation matrix
  • No singularities
  1. fixed axis roll, pitch, yaw about X, Y, Z axes respectively
  • No ambiguity on order
  • Used for angular velocities
  1. euler angles yaw, pitch, and roll about Z, Y, X axes respectively
  • Euler angles are generally discouraged due to having 24 'valid'conventions with different domains using different conventions bydefault.

By the right hand rule, the yaw component of orientation increases as the child framerotates counter-clockwise, and for geographic poses, yaw is zero when pointing east.

This requires special mention only because it differs from a traditional compass bearing,which is zero when pointing north and increments clockwise. Hardware drivers should makethe appropriate transformations before publishing standard ROS messages.

Covariance Representation

Robotics simulation before solution execution

As artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) evolve, we expect robots to execute increasingly complex tasks with complete autonomy to sense the environment, respond to it and to execute actions within it. Robots are common in industrial and commercial settings - for complex assembly picking and packing, last-mile delivery, and more.

To verify solutions before implementing them in a robot, roboticist and developers need an experimentation platform that accurately mimics the real- world environment as well as the robot’s physical interactions with that environment. Through simulation, they can evaluate robot performance in terms of localization, motion planning and control.

Create and model highly customizable real- world situations for robot design and simulations.
