Name
Real-Time ROS2 Lichtblick Visualizer
Description
This component provides a Docker-based version of Lichtblick, adapted as a real-time visualization tool for robotics solutions based on ROS 2. It leverages the capabilities of Foxglove to provide an intuitive and interactive interface for monitoring and analyzing robotic systems in real time.
Features
- Dockerized deployment: Easy to set up and run in isolated environments without complex installation.
- Real-time visualization: Leverages Foxglove for monitoring live ROS 2 data streams (topics, transforms, logs, etc.).
- ROS 2 compatibility: Natively supports ROS 2 message types and tools for robotic system integration.
- 3D visualization: View robot models, environments, and sensor data (e.g., LIDAR, cameras) in an interactive 3D scene.
- Customizable panels: Flexible UI with panels for plotting, logging, time-series data, and more.
- Bag file playback support: Visualize and debug recorded
.db3or.mcapdata alongside live streams. - Isolated environment: Ensures consistent behavior across different systems using containerization.
- Web-based interface: Access the visualization tool through a browser, no local GUI required.
- Multi-topic inspection: Subscribe to and inspect multiple ROS 2 topics in parallel.
- Easy configuration: Supports loading custom layouts and configurations at startup.

Pilot
This component enables remote monitoring of all ROS2 topics in the pilot, allowing users to visualize data—whether textual, point clouds, images, or others, directly from a web browser. Additionally, it can be reused in any other pilot project that includes developments based on ROS.
