Capturing robot data so we can debug it later
- RugnirViking 4y agoWe have something similar, we too use graphana as well that allows us to read through that data and select specific timestamps. pretty useful
- luc_ 4y agoNice... I've built a very similar toolset in the past. Cool to see it open-sourced. Nice work.
- davidtarazi 4y agoThanks! It's definitely a common problem for robots and I hope others can benefit from this.
- kortex 4y agoNice that the ROS community is starting to get hip to web/cloud community innovations. Back when I worked on ROS heavily (about 2 years ago), it felt like there were tons of cases of Not Invented Here syndrome. Rosparam server, service discovery, some of the rpc concepts. Just felt like a large chunk of the stack could be replaced with pre-existing technologies that could do the job better and with more features. TFA is traditionally the sort of thing someone would write a full solution for, entirely in ROS, and it would be rickety and opinionated, but refreshingly, they just use Prometheus, with enough Ros binding to capture the auxiliary data.
- davidtarazi 4y agoYup, I completely agree. I'm fairly new to the ROS community, but even so a lot of the solutions that I've seen for various robotics problems could be solved with cloud/web innovations. Never reinvent the wheel!
