The plain-English version
A component that performs a focused computation or device-facing responsibility within a robotics software graph.
Why it matters
Separating responsibilities makes sensing, planning, visualization, and control easier to inspect.
Let’s make it click
A simulated node publishes sensor readings while another displays them.
Vibe Bro’s heads-up
Splitting code into nodes does not remove timing or failure dependencies; document how missing or stale messages affect the system.
The docs behind it

Supported: ROS-style nodes are focused computational participants, not a guarantee that timing/failure dependencies disappear.
