How Foxglove and Polymath Robotics simplify fleet management.
Secure live telemetry and point-and-click route planning from anywhere in the world—right inside Foxglove.
About this demo
Polymath Robotics and Foxglove built two field-proven tools that cut friction from fleet autonomy: a secure, browser-based way to share live robot data using Tailscale Funnel + Foxglove, and a visual route-planning panel that talks directly to ROS services. The result is faster demos, tighter debug loops, and safer deployments—without VPN hassle or context switching.
Key topics
- Secure VPN live views — Share read-only, short-lived HTTPS/WSS URLs to Foxglove dashboards on any device—no client VPN access required; access can be gated, triggered, and revoked via API.
- Visual graph planning — Design routes as node-and-edge graphs inside Foxglove; plans render in 3D alongside lidar, GPS, and maps, and publish through existing ROS services.
- One interface, faster ops — From sales demos to mine-site debugging, teams use a single Foxglove workspace to observe, plan, and iterate—scaling cleanly from one robot to fleets.
