Erases any proof of the depth camera and replaces it with our new LiDAR system.

Changes

  • Remove depth camera support
    • Removed
  • Add LiDAR support
    • Add new package, soro_lidar (from my repo)

Checklist

  • Merge Support new GPS #151, then rebase on main afterward
  • Remove depth camera stuff
    • Ensure there's nothing remaining in the URDF/SDF
  • Configure Nav2
    • Remove fake laser scan from global_costmap
    • Configure spatio_temporal_voxel_layer, a (much) faster Nav2 plugin for 3D mapping from things like LiDAR
  • Add LiDAR to Rover's chassis URDF
    • Add test that tf tree is as expected
    • Position correctly (might need more steps run Gazebo on Jetson so we'll see)
  • Add pointcloud_to_laserscan node
    • Double-check that this is required; is there no way for slam_toolbox to use PointCloud2?
  • Test on the Rover

Testing

  • Test on the Rover directly.
  • We cannot test in the simulator on Humble right now; the virtual wheel driver doesn't exist for Humble -- only for Jazzy.
