Quadruped

Build reliable quadrupeds faster with Foxglove.

Foxglove is a purpose-built platform to visually debug and manage multimodal data, so you can accelerate and scale your physical AI development.
Get started
Visualization

Debug your quadruped in real time.

Visualize and interact with your quadruped in a rich 3D scene—complete with point clouds, transforms, camera feeds, and meshes. Stream live or recorded data at high rates to debug joint sync, gait transitions, or balance issues quickly and intuitively.
Analysis

Correlate patterns and better understand behavior.

Plot sensor and control data over time to spot patterns in velocity, orientation, or contact timing. Share customized layouts with charts, diagnostics, and 3D views to collaborate effectively and accelerate debugging across your team.
Connecting to data

Build better, reliable quadrupeds faster.

Stream or replay data seamlessly, organize logs, and filter by sensors or time slices. Overlay terrain maps or GPS to understand your quadruped’s behavior in context and manage data efficiently as you scale from one robot to many.
Data Management

Foxglove streamlines your data management, so you can focus on building reliable quadrupeds, faster.

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 local files directly, or connect to a live quadruped.
Index data by quadruped, 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.
