Hello,

Is there a way to determine the name of a node and/or its namespace from within the node's C++?

Thanks!

Use ros::this_node::getName() and ros::this_node::getNamespace().

To get just the node name without the namespace:

ros::this_node::getName().substr(ros::this_node::getNamespace().size() + 1);
