What it does

  • Integrates multiple views (GPS map, camera, IMU, LiDAR, robot state, motor state) into a single modern GUI.
  • Provides a teleoperation viewer for control and a dashboard viewer that combines the data streams.
  • Includes plot, grid map and record manager viewers for real-time plots, navigation grids and recording sessions.
  • Runs as a Docker-based deployment, with GPU support for data-intensive use.
  • Each viewer is started individually with ros2 run, or all together through the dashboard launch file.

Robots that can run it

No robot on Robotheca is linked to it yet. Links come from a robot's robot.yaml, from its dependency files read as text, or from Robotheca's editors.

Robotheca lists software as a reference: nothing is hosted or run here, and every fact links to where it was read.
