 ### Added
 
+* Added a `ros2` filtering for the header msg type.
 * Added `compas_fab.robots.Waypoints` class to represent a sequence of targets. It has two child classes: `FrameWaypoints` and `PointAxisWaypoints`.
 * Added `compas_fab.robots.Target` class to represent a motion planning target.
 * Added also child classes `FrameTarget`, `PointAxisTarget`, `ConfigurationTarget`, `ConstraintSetTarget`
