Clarification on connectivity test

General
1

I’m a bit confused about what exactly is expected here.

  1. For the “connecting to the assigned robot via ROS” part, does this mean I only need to subscribe to a specific topic or am I expected to launch a specific ROS node or run some program to demonstrate full connectivity?
  2. Regarding “viewing the camera via ROS” is it sufficient to visualize the camera stream in RViz2, or is another method expected like subscribing to an image topic and displaying it with a custom node.

  1. Subscription to any live topic is fine
  2. Viewing camera in RViz is fine

Yes - this test is meant to be simple - we want to check the infrastructure on both sides and not require a ton of work beforehand

Also, related to this topic could you let us know approximately how much time will be provided for pulling the Docker image as it was only given that for 1 intake 15 minutes will be provided. And around how much internet speed can we expect on the user computer?

Connectivity test is between the robot and your setup (i.e. teleoperation one). On-site compute will not be available during this test - so no container download will be neither available nor required.

As per all the tests - we’re aiming for a symmetric ~1Gbps connection (some of that will be used for streaming and communication, some of that will be used for the Husarnet overhead - so expect less than that).
