Intermodalics open-sources ros2in1_support for bridge-less ROS migration
Intermodalics released ros2in1_support, a C++ build tool that lets ROS 1 nodes communicate directly in ROS 1 and ROS 2 environments.
Evidence notes
- The tool intercepts ROS 1 publish and subscribe calls and exposes them in both ROS 1 and ROS 2 without a separate bridge server.
- Intermodalics said it had already used the software internally for two years before releasing it to the community.
- The initial release supported C++ nodes and custom message conversions, while Python nodes and parameter-server migration remained outside its scope.
