Ros2 on Embedded Linux Real-Time Robotics Development: Optimizing Ubuntu-Based Systems for ROS2 and Gazebo Deployments

By Isandro Myles and Corwin Halesworth

⚙️ ROS2 on Embedded Linux Real-Time Robotics Development

Optimizing Ubuntu-Based Systems for ROS2 and Gazebo Deployments

Building intelligent robots starts with mastering the platform they run on. ROS2 on Embedded Linux is your hands-on guide to developing high-performance, real-time robotics applications using ROS2 on Ubuntu-based embedded systems.

Whether you're deploying autonomous vehicles, edge-controlled manipulators, or lightweight drone fleets, this book walks you through setting up, tuning, and optimizing ROS2 and Gazebo on ARM-based and x86 embedded Linux platforms.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

Set up Ubuntu Core, Ubuntu Server, and custom Yocto builds for embedded robotics

Install and configure ROS2 (Foxy, Humble, Iron) for constrained hardware

Optimize kernel and middleware for real-time performance and deterministic response

Reduce memory and CPU overhead using static linking and ROS2 build options

Integrate Gazebo simulations into cross-compiled development workflows

Configure ROS2 nodes as real-time tasks with deadlines and priorities

Deploy, debug, and maintain robotic systems on devices like Raspberry Pi, Jetson, and BeagleBone

This book bridges the gap between embedded Linux systems and scalable ROS2 development, equipping you to deliver responsive, efficient, and production-grade robotic platforms.
