Announcing "Maps": Show robots live on a map on the web

General
1

Show your robots live on a map (OccupancyGrid), incl.:

  • speed and access maps,
  • navigation plans and
  • laser scans.

You can also relocalize your robots right from your browser or watch your map evolve from afar while a robot is mapping! As always, you can embed this capability’s UI components in your own web dashboards or fork our open-source transAct dashboard – and yes, it works with both ROS 1 and 2.

Knowing where your robots are at all times is crucial for operations. In fact, many companies build their entire fleet management system around the concept of locations and maps as these elegantly tie together the entire fleet. So we are excited to finally provide this badly needed capability.

Please let me know if you try it and have feedback or suggestions. We are already planning a lot more features, but would love to hear your needs. :folded_hands:

Before clicking on the post, I thought this was going to be showing robots live on Google maps and had a brief moment of panic if there are pushpins on my house on a map somewhere.

This is cool too, though! (and less creepy)
