Any body else count the number of times ROS appeared on camera? I spotted a number of screens running rviz and I think rosbag.
Any one know what version of ROS they use internally, or what kind of backend they showed for simulation?

Just curious, is it ROS1 or ROS2?
Is that RViz?
Reads like Director to me. The interactive markers are too “thin” and I don’t recognise any of those panels, nor the buttons:
Not everything with a Grid and a pointcloud render is RViz

I feel bait and switched with the lumber on the table saw. I was about to be very impressed if they could make Altas cut something that large reliably and operate the saw 
I hoped to see PlotJuggler at any moment, but nope.

They unfortunately don’t use ROS. I believe it is a homemade implementation using gRPC, but I do know they use an RViz-like tool for a lot for their work. They are also still using Ubuntu 18.04 until they finish tests with 20.04.

I believe it is GitHub - RobotLocomotion/director: A robotics interface and visualization framework, with extensive applications for working with http://drake.mit.edu. See https://groups.csail.mit.edu/robotics-center/public_papers/Marion16.pdf for screenshots and specifically compare the end-effector widget in figure 4.
