ROS provides a variety of tools and utilities that can help optimize node memory usage and troubleshoot any issues. The rqt_graph tool, for example, displays the graph of nodes and topics in the system, allowing users to filter and highlight them by name, namespace, or topic type. Additionally, the rqt_console tool shows log messages from nodes and permits filtering and sorting by level, node, or message. The rqt_top tool displays CPU and memory usage of nodes and allows sorting and refreshing by name, PID, or resource. Additionally, the rosnode list and rosnode info commands offer information and statistics about nodes such as subscriptions, publications, services, and connections. To use these tools and utilities, you should install the rqt package which contains the rqt_graph, rqt_console, and rqt_top tools as well as other useful plugins. You can then launch the rqt tool from the command line and select plugins from the menu. Finally, you can use the rosnode command from the command line or roscpp or rospy libraries in your code to interact with your nodes.
