Times Have Changed...

The era of ROS1/2 is coming to an end. They were at vital importance back to the age when we needed to efficiently glue different modules and sensors together, therefore we could stand all of its drawbacks such as intrinsic performance issues and lack of structural design. However, the situation of robotics research has changed since the renaissance of neural-network-based technologies.
