Our rover uses ROS2 as it's core technology for teleoperation and data collection. It runs entirely within lightweight docker containers. The Base Station consists only of Foxglove Studio (GUI), foxglove_bridge, and ROS2 Joy_node. All other processing is handled locally on the rover. foxglove_bridge and the joy_node are both hosted within the docker container. Foxglove Studio can either be installed locally or run within the browser.
