The problem I have with ROS and with most robots is the lack of real time support for things that have to be synchronized in well under 1mS. I need to synchronize motion to mechanisms e.g., printheads, lasers, etc. that operate at a hundred times faster and I can't use interpolation. Try and ask for encoder outputs from inside a robot so that you can keep track of position in real time. I need realer time!
I'm not a fan of Intel and the depth measurement accuracy of their cameras is only 2%. In my circuit board fiducial application XY is of most interest since the PCB's are pretty consistent in thickness. A few microns of variance in Z will cover the worst of applications. I don't need stereo vision for this.
