SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Patterns and best practices for integrating ROS2 systems with web technologies including REST APIs, WebSocket bridges, and browser-based robot interfaces. Use this skill when building web dashboards for robots, streaming camera feeds to browsers, exposing ROS2 services as REST endpoints, or implementing bidirectional WebSocket communication between web UIs and ROS2 nodes. Trigger whenever the user mentions rosbridge, rosbridge_suite, roslibjs, FastAPI with ROS2, Flask with rclpy, WebSocket for robot telemetry, MJPEG streaming, WebRTC for robots, REST API wrapping ROS2 services, web-based robot control, browser robot interface, robot dashboard, CORS configuration for robots, or any web-to-ROS2 bridge pattern. Also trigger for authentication on robot web interfaces, rate limiting sensor streams, video streaming from robot cameras to browsers, or running async web frameworks alongside the ROS2 executor. Covers rosbridge_suite, FastAPI, Flask, WebSocket, and WebRTC approaches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Web bridges such as rosbridge_suite and custom FastAPI/Flask bridges to connect ROS2 to web UIs.
  • Streaming and controlling robots via REST, WebSocket, and WebRTC from dashboards.
  • Use Case: Build a web dashboard to monitor odometry, stream camera feeds, and issue velocity commands from a browser.

Quick Start

Set up a FastAPI bridge to expose ROS2 topics as REST endpoints and launch a minimal web dashboard to monitor and control the robot.

Frequently Asked Questions about ros2-web-integration

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a web dashboard to monitor and control a ROS2 robot?▼

FastAPI and Flask can both run alongside the ROS2 executor to bridge web interfaces. The Skill details using FastAPI for asynchronous WebSocket handling and Flask with rclpy to expose ROS2 services as REST endpoints for browser-based control.

Can I stream robot camera feeds to a browser using a ROS2 web bridge?▼

Running an async web framework alongside the ROS2 executor requires careful integration. You must handle asynchronous WebSocket communication, configure CORS for robot web interfaces, apply secure access controls, and rate limit sensor streams to manage data flow.

Does rosbridge_suite work with FastAPI for exposing ROS2 services?▼

rosbridge_suite and FastAPI are distinct approaches for ROS2 web integration. While rosbridge_suite provides a standardized WebSocket bridge, FastAPI allows building custom REST endpoints and asynchronous WebSocket handlers to wrap and expose ROS2 services to web clients.

Do I need to configure CORS for a ROS2 web dashboard?▼

Yes, configuring CORS is necessary for ROS2 web dashboards to allow browser clients to securely access your REST and WebSocket endpoints. The Skill covers applying secure access controls and CORS configuration for robot web interfaces.
