Jetson board + ZED 2i + ROS2

Hey!

I am just wondering if the combination of these 3 hardware/software could actually work easily? Because, for running zed on jetson, you have to download their Nvidia’s OS (it’s ubuntu but with much config I think). But is it smooth to install ROS on their OS? If someone has tried it, I appreciate that if the experience could be shared with me.

Thank you!

Hi @wenxi

“Jetson board + ZED 2i + ROS2” is a standard configuration for robotics applications.

Installing ROS 2 on a Jetson is quite straightforward.
You can follow the standard guide to install ROS 2 Humble on Ubuntu because all the packages are available via APT.

When ROS 2 Humble is ready, you can install the ZED ROS2 Wrapper packages from GitHub.

Finally, I recommend you read our exhaustive online ZED ROS2 Wrapper documentationGetting Started with ROS 2 and ZED - Stereolabs which explains how to use our nodes and how to optimize the environment to obtain the best performance.
