Integrating ROS2 with UE5

Development Pipeline & Plugins Plugins

What I want to do is somehow facilitate communication between ROS2 Topics (Not ROS1, I am aware those already exist) and UE5 Blueprints.

I also know of the ROSBridge plugin but from what I know that only works with ROS1 and even that needs a custom plugin from the UE5 side.

This would be important to me and if you think solving this is impossible for a single person I’d also like to know.

For a hypothetical goal for this integration imagine a Car game that gets the ‘W,A,S,D’ inputs from a ROS2 Topic and Sends back a Camera feed to another one.
