Webviz is a web-based tool developed by Cruise (RIP) for visualizing robotics data directly in a browser. It supports ROS bag files and live robot data, enabling tasks like debugging and analysis. Webviz allows users to customize layouts using panels such as 3D visualizations, plots, and image displays.
Foxglove empowers over 10,000 robotics and embodied AI developers and supports hundreds of robotics companies in accelerating and scaling their development. From data collection and ingestion to visualizing, debugging, and managing robotic data, Foxglove streamlines every step of the development process, enabling teams to innovate faster and more effectively.
“Things that were impossible before are now possible.”
Robert Sun, Founding Engineer, Dexterity
Foxglove’s modern, intuitive interface and support for diverse data formats, including ROS (1 and 2), MCAP, Flatbuffers, Protobuf, and JSON, including video codecs like H.264, H.265, and AV1, and telemetry and sensor data, ensure a seamless experience for both real-time and historical analysis. Its performance handling large datasets allows teams to gain actionable insights efficiently, whether debugging complex systems or monitoring live operations.
1. Download and install Foxglove for your platform (Windows, macOS, or Linux) or use it directly in your browser.
2. Drag and drop your ROS bag files into Foxglove to start replaying and analyzing data immediately.
“The integration was surprisingly straightforward, enabling us to quickly transition from using multiple disjointed tools to a unified workflow. This significantly reduced the barriers for team members to engage with system data.”
Scott Butters, Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Aescape
