Carlos Sanvicente developed advanced time-based delayed scheduling and splitting features for the ros2/rosbag2 repository, enhancing the precision and flexibility of recording and replay services. Leveraging C++, ROS, and real-time systems expertise, he implemented a DelayedActionRunner using a worker thread and a time-priority queue to manage scheduled tasks. His work introduced new split modes based on node, publish, and receive times, adding timestamp fields for consistent timing across services. Carlos also addressed reliability by resolving a race condition and improving cross-platform timestamp handling. These contributions enabled more deterministic, reproducible workflows and improved the robustness of rosbag2’s core service infrastructure.
February 2026 — rosbag2: Delivered time-based delayed scheduling and splitting features for recorder and replay services, improving recording/replay precision and workflow flexibility. Implemented a DelayedActionRunner using a worker thread and a time-based priority queue to schedule delayed tasks. Extended bag splitting with node_time, publish_time, and receive_time modes and added timestamp fields to relevant services for consistent timing across the stack. Fixed key reliability issues including a race condition in ScheduledActionTask, Windows timestamp initialization in subscription callbacks, and tests adjustments to handle service return codes. These changes broaden business value by enabling more reliable, deterministic bag capture and replay, support for new workflows, and improved cross-platform robustness.
