Transitive Robotics has developed a ROS Tool that provides a React API for interacting with robots via the web. This tool, based on Transitive's MQTTSync protocol, offers advantages like deduplication, incremental updates, and cloud caching. Users can subscribe to ROS topics, publish messages, make service calls, and interact with multiple robots using the Fleet API. The tool supports custom ROS message types and can be used in both front-end and back-end applications. A free version with data transfer limits is available, with premium features unlocked by a valid payment method. However, it is not recommended for heavy payloads like video streams, for which other capabilities like WebRTC Video are suggested. The tool version 0.3.8 was published on 7/8/2024, and users can access documentation and FAQs on Transitive Robotics' website.

4 commentsIs there an open source self hosted option? Is this open source?
So what's the advantage of your cloud service vs something similar like https://github.com/groove-x/mqtt_bridge where you can easily create a MQTT API for your robots by hand-selecting topics to be exposed?
