Unified Parameter Handling for ROS

When working with ROS and Parameters, there are a couple of tools to help you with handing Parameters to your nodes and to modify them, e.g. Parameter Server and dynamic_reconfigure.

But with the multitude of options on where to specify your parameters, we often face the problem that we get a redundancy in our code and config files.

The rosparam_handler let's you:

specify all of your parameters in a single file.
use a generated struct to hold your parameters.
use member method for grabbing the parameters from the parameter server.
use member method for updating them from dynamic_reconfigure.
make your parameters configurable with a single flag.
set default, min and max values.
choose between global and private namespace.
save a lot of time on specifying your parameters in several places.
...in both C++ and Python !
