VT&R Strikes Again!

Members of ASRL were at the Canadian Space Agency this week to help integrate our stereo visual teach and repeat (VT&R) algorithm with one of CSA's vehicles under the Robot Operating System (ROS).  This represents a big step forwards as CSA's new plan is provide ROS interfaces to all their new rovers in order to more easily share code and collaborate with external partners, including universities, in the future.  We had VT&R up and running in less than a day of integration, showing the strength of this approach.
