SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Inspect live ROS 2 systems to understand the topology, communication, and runtime behavior. This includes nodes, topics, services, actions, and parameters, enabling quick validation of system structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Map ROS 2 graph: visualize nodes, topics, services, actions, and parameters and explain their relationships.
  • Validate live systems: verify that components are correctly connected and running as expected in development, testing, or production environments.
  • Use Case: Imagine debugging a complex robot app with many nodes; you can quickly see who is publishing what and how data flows between components.

Quick Start

Run the ROS Graph Inspector against a live ROS 2 system to generate a current graph and relationship map.

FAQPage Schema
How do I inspect a live ROS 2 system to visualize nodes and topics?

You can inspect a live ROS 2 system by mapping nodes, topics, services, actions, and parameters to generate a structured graph that highlights connections and high-risk architectural gaps.

What is the best way to debug ROS 2 graph connections and runtime behavior?

Debugging ROS 2 graph connections involves mapping the live topology to verify component links, validate runtime behavior, and identify who is publishing what data across the system.

Can I validate my ROS 2 architecture during development or production testing?

Yes, you can validate your ROS 2 architecture in development, testing, or production by generating a current relationship map to verify components are correctly connected and running as expected.

How do I identify high-risk gaps in a ROS 2 topology?

To identify high-risk gaps in a ROS 2 topology, map the live nodes and connections to produce a structured graph that highlights missing links and provides actionable follow-ups.

Does ROS graph inspector work with ROS 2 services, actions, and parameters?

Yes, ROS graph inspector works with ROS 2 services, actions, and parameters by identifying and mapping these elements alongside nodes and topics to explain their relationships within the system.
