[RESEARCH] docker-ros-ml-images

[kluge7]

Description of task

We would like to explore whether the docker-ros-ml-images repository can be implemented and utilized for Vortex. This tool appears to streamline the use of Docker containers for ROS and machine learning by providing pre-configured environments that integrate ROS with ML frameworks. We want to research whether this can be utilized to generate Docker containers specifically designed to leverage GPU resources, such as those required by Orin

TASK: Research whether the docker-ros-ml-images repository can be utilized. Implement docker images from it (to determine if they are usable). This should specifically be tested with the perception-auv packages to ensure they can utilize Orin.

Recommended Reading

• [TASK] Docker Dev Environment on Orin perception-auv#11
• https://docs.docker.com/get-started/
• https://github.com/ika-rwth-aachen/docker-ros-ml-images

Suggested Workflow

• Read the documentation for docker-ros-ml-images (and for Docker, if you are new to it)
• Make docker images (specifically for packages using Orin)
• If it appears usable, make documentation for it in our internal wiki.

Collaborate with @VegraD, as he has been responsible for this issue: vortexntnu/perception-auv#11.
