With Open Robotics quickly moving to make ROS 2 the standard version of ROS, supporting it has become a growing interest in the Ardupilot community. Contributing to the ROS 2 support is still a challenge, as there are little to no use cases documented.
The proposed idea is to keep contributing to DDS support, but focusing specifically on bringing autonomous navigation to ROS 2, which will help building a documentation foundation for future projects interested in using DDS instead of MAVROS, as well as expanding the use cases for Ardupilot with ROS.
