Name Topic Type Description
Ultrasonics T.B.D sensor_msgs/Range Distance data from ultrasonic radar. Used by the Perception.
Camera Image T.B.D sensor_msgs/Image Image data from camera. Used by the Perception.
Combined Radar Tracks T.B.D radar_msgs/RadarTracks.msg Radar tracks from radar. Used by the Perception.
Radar Point Cloud T.B.D radar_msgs/RadarScan.msg Pointcloud from radar. Used by the Perception.
Lidar Point Cloud /sensing/lidar/<lidar group>/pointcloud sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 Lidar pointcloud after preprocessing. Used by the Perception and Localization. <lidar group> is a unique name for identifying each LiDAR or the group name when multiple LiDARs are combined. Specifically, the concatenated point cloud of all LiDARs is assigned the <lidar group> name concatenated.
GNSS-INS pose T.B.D geometry_msgs/PoseWithCovarianceStamped Initial pose of the ego vehicle from GNSS. Used by the Localization.
GNSS-INS Orientation T.B.D sensor_msgs/Imu Orientation info from GNSS. Used by the Localization.
