m-explore ROS2 roadplan

Is there any intention of migrating this package to ROS2?

I'm interested too. Anybody else willing to join in the effort? I have not ported any package to ros2 yet, but willing to take the plunge.

@blablebli-robots @imstevenpmwyca hey guys, I just finished porting this to ROS2 and it tested it with TB3 simulation robot. Check it out https://github.com/robo-friends/m-explore-ros2 Feedback and contribution is highly welcome

Hi @charlielito

Will you integrate your work into this repo? Maybe in a ros2 branch, @hrnr?

The Open Source philosophy behind ROS involves contributing to the author's repository so it doesn't seem like you're taking away their work and their legitimate authorship.

Thanks for your effort, @charlielito

For sure I am willing to make the contribution to this repo. The reason I created another one is because this repo seems to be dead since @hrnr doesn't even responded to this issue and the last commit is almost from 1 year ago. Also note that I am referring to this repository in the first line of the README of my ros2 port :)

Hi @charlielito

Yes, you are right. This repo shows little activity.

We are planning to use this software in ROS2 this semester. If @hrnr doesn't reply in a couple of weeks, I find it reasonable to start using and contributing to your repo.

Thanks again for your work

Hi,

I wouldn't call this repository completely dead, I see the status as under maintenance, with little active development under moment.

I'm happy to look at including ROS 2 version of nodes though. Clear benefit here would be to share the actual algorithms here.

I'm also fine and happy if you keep it in a fork. Look at the license, beyond what is written there I don't have any special rights or ownership. No need to feel bad about forking unless you present it as your own work. With that said it would be good to choose a different name if you'd publish your forked package in the ROS repositories.

Cheers, Jiri

Hi @hrnr

Nice to see that this repo is alive 💪

Could you please create a ros2or foxy/galactic branch to upload the @charlielito 's work?

Thanks to both
