The Data Recording System (DRS) is a high-performance sensor data recording system designed for autonomous vehicles. It runs on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin-based embedded ECUs and synchronously records data from multiple sensors including cameras, LiDARs, and IMUs.
- Multi-Sensor Support: Cameras (v4l2-compatible, TIER IV C1/C2/C3 cams), LiDARs/Radars (Nebula integration), GNSS/INS (OxTS)
- Distributed Architecture: Parallel processing across multiple ECUs (ecu0/ecu1)
- High-Precision Time Synchronization: Inter-sensor synchronization via PTP (Precision Time Protocol)
- Hardware Trigger: GPIO-based sensor synchronization trigger generation
- ROS 2 Based: Native build with ROS 2 Humble, optimized for embedded systems
- API/Dashboard: System management via gRPC API and Web dashboard
- cuda >= 11.8
- gcc <= 11.x
- ros 2 distro == humble
