TL;DR: Nick is walking around the office holding our beautiful rig where a global-shutter camera + IMU share one GMSL2 coax for data and power, estimated in real time on a Jetson (ROS 2 + OpenVINS). Return-to-start after the ~25 m loop: 42 cm (~1.7 %).
Hardware is our NXS sensor module (Sony IMX900 global shutter (72 fps native; 24 fps fed to the estimator), fixed exposure + IAM-20680 IMU @ 200 Hz, hardware-synchronized on the module) into an NXS Hub carrying the GMSL link to a Jetson Orin Nano. ROS 2 Humble, OpenVINS, kalibr calibration. No wheels, no markers, no prior map.
Happy to answer you questions about the sync design, the single-cable setup, or the takes that didn’t survive.
