Question about Arena4.0 in ROS2 and standalone usage of Arena-gen for scenario generation

[gemaRincon]

Hello,

I read in the Arxiv paper that Arena4.0 has extended Arena to ROS2, as it was previously only available for ROS1. However, when I check the GitHub link provided in the paper, it redirects to ArenaROSNav, which is still for ROS1.

1. Is the migration to ROS2 currently underway? Is there a specific repository or branch on GitHub where the ROS2 version is being developed?

2. I am particularly interested in the scenario generation functionality (Arena-gen). I’d like to know if it is possible to use this tool independently, without needing to install the entire application. Is there a way to install or run only Arena-gen for scenario generation?

Thank you in advance for your help and for developing this project. It’s truly exciting!

Best regards,
Gema.

Hey, thanks for your interest in the platform.

1. ROS2 migration is done, we're preparing for a full release of all sub-components.
   Use the
   Ubuntu 22.04 installation guide for the latest dev version.

2. Arena-Gen is explicitly built as a stand-alone http web server, that is launched separately and interfaces arena through a map server adapter. E-mail me at dev(at)vshch.com for instructions how to host it locally.
