What is the ROS 2 MCP Server?
The ROS 2 MCP Server is a Python-based tool that integrates with ROS 2 through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI assistants to control robot movement by sending instructions. The server supports time-based motion control, such as making the robot move forward at a specific speed for a period of time and then stop.How to use the ROS 2 MCP Server?
Simply configure the MCP client (such as Claude) and then send instructions to the server. The server will control the robot to publish corresponding movement commands on the ROS 2 topic according to the received instructions.Applicable Scenarios
Suitable for scenarios that require remote control of robots, such as home service robots, industrial automation, or educational purposes.Main Features
MCP Protocol IntegrationSupports receiving instructions from AI assistants through the FastMCP framework.
Time-based ControlAllows specifying the duration of the robot's movement, such as moving forward for a few seconds and then stopping.
ROS 2 Native SupportInteracts directly with ROS 2 without additional adaptation.
Advantages and Limitations
Advantages
