Visualization

Visualize and interact with your humanoid robot.

Enhance your ability to observe, debug, and refine performance using an immersive 3D scene, complete with point clouds, transforms, markers, entities, camera images, meshes, and more. You can even use the joint controls or transforms in the panel settings to move, rotate, and interact with your robot model.

Analysis

Understand complex humanoid robot behavior.

Plot message values over time or as arrays at each timestamp to analyze changes, patterns, and critical insights in your humanoid robot’s behavior, kinematics, and transforms. Pinpoint state transitions and gain a clear understanding of its c-space and the complexities of 50+ DoF.
Collaboration

Build better, reliable humanoids faster.

Create and share customizable layouts to collaborate and debug effortlessly, keeping your team aligned while gaining a clear understanding of how your humanoid robots sense, think, and act.

Foxglove simplifies data serialization, transportation, and processing—whether you’re dealing with asynchronous data streams from diverse sources or trawling through petabytes of recorded data.

Foxglove simplifies data serialization, transportation, and processing—whether you’re dealing with asynchronous data streams from diverse sources or trawling through petabytes of recorded data.

Use the Foxglove Agent to import recordings, upload your local files directly, or connect to a live humanoid robot.
Index data by robot, time, and topic, set retention policies for effective data management, and seamlessly integrate with existing data pipelines.
With flexible access via the UI, API, or CLI, you can retrieve only the data you need for efficient exploration and analysis.

FAQ

Yes, absolutely. Foxglove’s free plan is available to everyone and will remain free forever. You can have up to 3 users, 10 GB of cloud storage, and 10 devices (i.e., robots).
Yes. Students, professors, and researchers alike—anyone using Foxglove for academic purposes—can access Foxglove free of charge. Invite your entire lab or team, leverage the data platform, and take advantage of all Foxglove features to help advance the robotics community at large.
Most likely, yes. Foxglove supports a wide range of data formats and offers several connection options, including the ability to use local files with no internet connectivity. Foxglove’s extensibility also allows you to build bespoke panels, convert custom messages, alias topic names, and configure layouts to suit your unique needs.

For more details about connection options and supported data formats, read the documentation.
Foxglove natively supports MCAP, ROS 1, ROS 2, and custom formats like Protobuf, JSON, or FlatBuffers, using an encoding-agnostic WebSocket connection or a local or remote MCAP file.
Foxglove’s primary use cases include multimodal data visualization and management. Visualizing all your robotic data on a single screen enables you to troubleshoot and debug issues more quickly. Managing data through Foxglove’s connections and platform creates seamless development loops: while your robot operates and records data, you identify issues, make improvements, redeploy, and repeat.
Yes, absolutely. Foxglove enforces HTTPS on all connections, encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2, and secures data at rest with AES 256-bit encryption. Foxglove also uses single sign-on (SSO) and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) for secure authentication. Additionally, Foxglove is SOC 2 Type II certified and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliant. For more information about Foxglove’s security standards, view the security page.
You can start using the Foxglove platform instantly. Simply drag .bag or .mcap files onto the screen to begin visualizing your data. Connecting to your robot is just as easy—use a WebSocket, the Foxglove Rosbridge, or the Foxglove Agent.
Not if your team has 3 or fewer people. If your team has 4 or more people, you will need to sign up for the Starter or Team plan to continue using Foxglove.
