Stack Summary

common_msgs contains messages that are widely used by other ROS packages. These includes messages for actions (actionlib_msgs), diagnostics (diagnostic_msgs), geometric primitives (geometry_msgs), robot navigation (nav_msgs), and common sensors (sensor_msgs), such as laser range finders, cameras, point clouds.

Purpose of common_msgs stack

Isolating the messages to communicate between stacks in a shared dependency allows nodes in dependent stacks to communicate without requiring dependencies upon each other. This stack has been designed to contain the most common messages used between multiple stacks to provide a shared dependency which will eliminate a problematic circular dependency.
