marina is a dataset manager for robotics to organize, share, and discover datasets and bags across storage backends so we can finally stop emailing download links around.
The focus lies primarily on ROS 2 bagfiles but plain folders are supported as well.
Marina automatically compresses bags when pushing and restores them on pull. PointCloud2 messages are compressed with millimetre accuracy using the embedded cloudini library. This massively reduces network IO — a typical bottleneck for mobile robots.
Marina extends the ros2 bag CLI directly when installing for ROS
This is free and open source software.
