ROSboard is a ROS node that runs a lightweight web server on your robot, letting you visualize ROS topics in a browser at port 8888. It works with both ROS1 and ROS2 and is extensible with single-file JavaScript viewers for custom message types.

Use cases

  • visualize ros topics in a web browser
  • monitor my robot from a phone
  • view ros bag files on desktop
  • debug ros2 node data remotely
  • create custom visualizations for ros message types

When to choose

  • you need quick browser-based ROS topic visualization without heavy dependencies
  • you want to monitor a robot from a phone or tablet while walking around
  • you need one tool that works with both ROS1 and ROS2

When to avoid

  • you need deep rqt-style introspection or message publishing/injection
  • you require a fully supported open-source license for commercial use
  • you prefer rosbridge-suite or Robot Web Tools ecosystems
