What it does
- Replicates RViz's orthographic 2D view in a smartphone-friendly web interface.
- Lets users plan and execute goals and waypoints, with custom buttons and parameter reconfigure.
- Designed to work without internet access, so it can be hosted on a robot with rosbridge autoconnecting to the host IP.
- Serves the web app on port 5000, with rosbridge on port 5001 by default.
- Stores client settings in localStorage and map tiles in indexedDB for offline use.
- Can be run directly with roslaunch or inside a Docker container.
