Mirroring master

asked 2013-10-21 08:23:42 -0600

We are running a ROS system remotely. Due to the particular setup, there is a high network latency (esp. towards the remote site) which we can not fix. rviz does not handle this well and using it is basically impossible.

Given this scenario, is there any way to "mirror" the master? I.e. we would like to just send all (or preferably only some) topics from the remote ROS master to the local one (using unreliable transport / UDP), so we can use rviz with the local master. Is this possible?

Check out foreign_relay. It may do exactly what you want.

But foreign_relay still communicates bi-directionally (for the subscription). Is there a way to statically define a set of topics to push remotely?
