Updated Nov 27, 2025
Performance Notes
Real-time performance depends on ROS middleware (ROS1 vs ROS2) and OS kernel
Minimize unnecessary topic updates to reduce network load
Use asynchronous callbacks for high-frequency sensor data
Profile MoveIt! planning for large robot workspaces
Ensure determinism when integrating with PLCs and production lines
Security Notes
Restrict network access to ROS master and industrial nodes
Authenticate and encrypt communication with sensitive robots
Follow safety protocols for robot operation in production
Validate sensor inputs to avoid unsafe commands
Keep ROS and industrial nodes up to date with patches
Monitoring Analytics
Track node uptime and health
Monitor topic message frequency and latency
Analyze MoveIt! planning success rates
Log sensor and perception data for QA
Evaluate multi-robot coordination efficiency
Code Quality
Follow ROS coding standards and conventions
Unit-test custom nodes before deployment
Document topics, services, and actions clearly
Modularize code for reusability
Profile nodes for performance and latency
