- Copper v0.8 introduces a new Zenoh and ROS2 bridge.
- The bridge allows progressive migration from ROS2 to Copper without a full system overhaul.
- Performance-critical tasks can be moved to Copper first, leveraging its determinism and Rust-first stack.
- Copper can emit ROS2-compatible topics over Zenoh, eliminating the need for ROS2 builds or colcon.
- The community has also released a pure cu_zenoh_sink for broader interoperability beyond ROS2.
- Zenoh serves as a universal bridge for connecting Copper to non-Copper processes and mixed-language architectures.
- Special thanks to Julien Enoch from Zettascale for his support in developing Zenoh.
