ros2 launch -h

usage: ros2 launch [-h] [-n] [-d] [-p | -s] [-a] [--launch-prefix LAUNCH_PREFIX]
                   [--launch-prefix-filter LAUNCH_PREFIX_FILTER]
                   package_name [launch_file_name] [launch_arguments ...]

Run a launch file

positional arguments:
  package_name          Name of the ROS package which contains the launch file
  launch_file_name      Name of the launch file
  launch_arguments      Arguments to the launch file; '<name>:=<value>' (for duplicates, last one wins)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -n, --noninteractive  Run the launch system non-interactively, with no terminal associated
  -d, --debug           Put the launch system in debug mode, provides more verbose output.
  -p, --print, --print-description
                        Print the launch description to the console without launching it.
  -s, --show-args, --show-arguments
                        Show arguments that may be given to the launch file.
  -a, --show-all-subprocesses-output
                        Show all launched subprocesses' output by overriding their output configuration using the
                        OVERRIDE_LAUNCH_PROCESS_OUTPUT envvar.
  --launch-prefix LAUNCH_PREFIX
                        Prefix command, which should go before all executables. Command must be wrapped in quotes if
                        it contains spaces (e.g. --launch-prefix 'xterm -e gdb -ex run --args').
  --launch-prefix-filter LAUNCH_PREFIX_FILTER
                        Regex pattern for filtering which executables the --launch-prefix is applied to by matching
                        the executable name.

例如：

ros2 launch turtlesim multisim.launch.py

其中，multisim.launch.py 如下：

# turtlesim/launch/multisim.launch.py

from launch import LaunchDescription
import launch_ros.actions

def generate_launch_description():
    return LaunchDescription([
        launch_ros.actions.Node(
            namespace= "turtlesim1", package='turtlesim', executable='turtlesim_node', output='screen'),
        launch_ros.actions.Node(
            namespace= "turtlesim2", package='turtlesim', executable='turtlesim_node', output='screen'),
    ])

控制其中的小乌龟用rqt工具或如下指令：

1：ros2 topic pub /turtlesim1/turtle1/cmd_vel geometry_msgs/msg/Twist “{linear: {x: 2.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0}, angular: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 1.8}}”

2：ros2 topic pub /turtlesim2/turtle1/cmd_vel geometry_msgs/msg/Twist “{linear: {x: 2.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0}, angular: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: -1.8}}”

启动launch教程
ROS 2 Launch 文件允许同时启动和配置多个包含 ROS 2 节点的可执行文件。

学习启动
1 创建 ROS 2 启动文件。

本教程将展示如何创建一个启动文件，该文件将同时启动节点及其配置。

from launch import LaunchDescription
from launch_ros.actions import Node

def generate_launch_description():
    return LaunchDescription([
        Node(
            package='turtlesim',
            namespace='turtlesim1',
            executable='turtlesim_node',
            name='sim'
        ),
        Node(
            package='turtlesim',
            namespace='turtlesim2',
            executable='turtlesim_node',
            name='sim'
        ),
        Node(
            package='turtlesim',
            executable='mimic',
            name='mimic',
            remappings=[
                ('/input/pose', '/turtlesim1/turtle1/pose'),
                ('/output/cmd_vel', '/turtlesim2/turtle1/cmd_vel'),
            ]
        )
    ])

2 使用 Launch 启动和监控多个节点。

关于启动文件如何工作以及可用的资源和文档的更高级概述。

import platform

import launch
import launch.actions
import launch.substitutions
import launch_ros.actions

env_var_name = 'USER' if platform.system() != 'Windows' else 'USERNAME'

def generate_launch_description():
    return launch.LaunchDescription([
        launch.actions.DeclareLaunchArgument(
            'node_prefix',
            default_value=[launch.substitutions.EnvironmentVariable(env_var_name), '_'],
            description='Prefix for node names'),
        launch_ros.actions.Node(
            package='demo_nodes_cpp', executable='talker', output='screen',
            name=[launch.substitutions.LaunchConfiguration('node_prefix'), 'talker']),
    ])

3 使用替代品。

在描述可重用的启动文件时，可以使用替换来提供更大的灵活性。

from launch_ros.actions import Node

from launch import LaunchDescription
from launch.actions import DeclareLaunchArgument, ExecuteProcess, TimerAction
from launch.conditions import IfCondition
from launch.substitutions import LaunchConfiguration, PythonExpression


def generate_launch_description():
    turtlesim_ns = LaunchConfiguration('turtlesim_ns')
    use_provided_red = LaunchConfiguration('use_provided_red')
    new_background_r = LaunchConfiguration('new_background_r')

    turtlesim_ns_launch_arg = DeclareLaunchArgument(
        'turtlesim_ns',
        default_value='turtlesim1'
    )
    use_provided_red_launch_arg = DeclareLaunchArgument(
        'use_provided_red',
        default_value='False'
    )
    new_background_r_launch_arg = DeclareLaunchArgument(
        'new_background_r',
        default_value='200'
    )

    turtlesim_node = Node(
        package='turtlesim',
        namespace=turtlesim_ns,
        executable='turtlesim_node',
        name='sim'
    )
    spawn_turtle = ExecuteProcess(
        cmd=[[
            'ros2 service call ',
            turtlesim_ns,
            '/spawn ',
            'turtlesim/srv/Spawn ',
            '"{x: 2, y: 2, theta: 0.2}"'
        ]],
        shell=True
    )
    change_background_r = ExecuteProcess(
        cmd=[[
            'ros2 param set ',
            turtlesim_ns,
            '/sim background_r ',
            '120'
        ]],
        shell=True
    )
    change_background_r_conditioned = ExecuteProcess(
        condition=IfCondition(
            PythonExpression([
                new_background_r,
                ' == 200',
                ' and ',
                use_provided_red
            ])
        ),
        cmd=[[
            'ros2 param set ',
            turtlesim_ns,
            '/sim background_r ',
            new_background_r
        ]],
        shell=True
    )

    return LaunchDescription([
        turtlesim_ns_launch_arg,
        use_provided_red_launch_arg,
        new_background_r_launch_arg,
        turtlesim_node,
        spawn_turtle,
        change_background_r,
        TimerAction(
            period=2.0,
            actions=[change_background_r_conditioned],
        )
    ])

4 使用事件处理程序。

事件处理程序可用于监视进程的状态或定义一组复杂的规则，这些规则可用于动态修改启动文件。

ROS 2 中的 Launch 是一个执行和管理用户定义流程的系统。它负责监控它启动的进程的状态，以及报告和响应这些进程的状态变化。这些更改称为事件，可以通过向启动系统注册事件处理程序来处理。可以为特定事件注册事件处理程序，并可用于监视进程的状态。此外，它们可用于定义一组复杂的规则，可用于动态修改启动文件。

本教程展示了 ROS 2 启动文件中事件处理程序的使用示例。

from launch_ros.actions import Node

from launch.substitutions import (EnvironmentVariable, FindExecutable,
                                LaunchConfiguration, LocalSubstitution,

        'use_provided_red',
        default_value='False'
    )
    new_background_r_launch_arg = DeclareLaunchArgument(
        'new_background_r',

    )

            '120'
        ]],
        shell=True
    )
    change_background_r_conditioned = ExecuteProcess(
        condition=IfCondition(
            PythonExpression([

                )]
            )
        ),
    ])

5 使用 ROS 2 启动大型项目。

本教程描述了为大型项目编写启动文件的一些技巧。重点是如何构建启动文件，以便在不同情况下尽可能多地重用它们。此外，它还涵盖了不同 ROS 2 启动工具的使用示例，例如参数、YAML 文件、重新映射、命名空间、默认参数和 RViz 配置。

机器人上的大型应用程序通常涉及多个相互连接的节点，每个节点都可以有许多参数。在海龟模拟器中模拟多只海龟就是一个很好的例子。海龟模拟由多个海龟节点、世界配置以及 TF 广播器和侦听器节点组成。在所有节点之间，存在大量影响这些节点行为和外观的 ROS 参数。 ROS 2 启动文件允许我们在一个地方启动所有节点并设置相应的参数。在教程结束时，将在 launch_tutorial 包中构建 launch_turtlesim.launch.py 启动文件。这个启动文件会调出不同的节点，负责模拟两个turtlesim模拟，启动TF广播器和监听器，加载参数，启动一个RViz配置。在本教程中，将介绍这个启动文件和使用的所有相关功能。

Python、XML 或 YAML：应该使用哪个？

提示：ROS 1 中的启动文件是用 XML 编写的，因此来自 ROS 1 的人可能最熟悉 XML。要查看发生了什么变化，可以访问将启动文件从 ROS 1 迁移到 ROS 2。

对于大多数应用程序，选择哪种 ROS 2 启动格式取决于开发人员的偏好。但是，如果启动文件需要 XML 或 YAML 无法实现的灵活性，可以使用 Python 编写启动文件。由于以下两个原因，使用 Python 启动 ROS 2 更加灵活：

Python 是一种脚本语言，因此可以在启动文件中利用该语言及其库。
ros2/launch（一般启动功能）和 ros2/launch_ros（ROS 2 特定启动功能）是用 Python 编写的，因此对 XML 和 YAML 可能未公开的启动功能具有较低级别的访问权限。

话虽如此，用 Python 编写的启动文件可能比用 XML 或 YAML 编写的启动文件更复杂和冗长。

同一功能对比如下：
