Setup Orin & ZED Cameras
The new NVIDIA Orin needs to be set up and configured to aggregate images & depth images from the four ZED cameras. Stereolabs (ZED) has a ROS SDK for doing much of the calibration and aggregation from multiple cameras. We should be able to stitch together a birds-eye-view image (often used throughout the industry).
In terms of design, the Orin will receive all the ZED data - and possibly also the LIDAR and RADAR data, do any needed pre-processing (e.g., birds-eye-view image, ground plane removal for lidar, etc) and publish cleaned perception topics to the main computer. To do this, the Orin and main computer will need to be on the same local network to share ROS messages.
This task could be coordinated with a member of the HFE team or done entirely by one person. Either way there will be a lot of hands on.
