Build

Nominally, this project is ROS-independent, but it is convenient to use the ROS dependency management and build tools to build the repository.

Clone the repository into a workspace, download the dependencies, and build the workspace.

cd <ws>
vcs import src < dependencies.repos
rosdep install --from-paths src -iry
<colcon/catkin> build

GUI
