ROS-Sensor
Developer Tools
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
ROS2 Sensor turns your iPhone or iPad into a fully-featured ROS2 sensor node. Using native DDS communication, it publishes real-time sensor data directly to your ROS2 network — no rosbridge or middleware required.
Supported sensors:
- IMU (accelerometer + gyroscope) — sensor_msgs/Imu
- GPS location — sensor_msgs/NavSatFix
- Camera — sensor_msgs/CompressedImage
- Barometer — sensor_msgs/FluidPressure
- LiDAR point clouds — sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 (Pro devices)
- ARKit 6DOF pose tracking — geometry_msgs/PoseStamped
Perfect for robotics researchers, hobbyists, and developers who want to leverage the high-quality sensors in their Apple devices for ROS2 projects. Use your phone as an IMU, a mobile camera, a GPS source, or even a LiDAR scanner for your robot.
Requires a local network with ROS2 nodes to communicate with.
