Customizing your DDS Configuration
Like most ROS 2 applications, MoveIt Pro relies on a DDS based ROS middleware (RMW) for intercommunication between processes. In MoveIt Pro, we support Eclipse Cyclone DDS and eprosima Fast DDS (formerly Fast RTPS) middlewares.
By default, MoveIt Pro uses a Cyclone DDS configuration that:
- Will communicate with ROS 2 processes inside the MoveIt Pro docker container.
- Will communicate with ROS 2 processes on the host computer.
- Will NOT communicate with other computers on your network.
This guide explains how to further customize your DDS configuration if the above settings are not appropriate for your application, such as:
- Distributing compute across multiple computers.
- Using eprosima Fast DDS.
