Do you build robots (or want to)? Start robotics development today with cloud logging and visualization in one line of code! Freedom’s Link ROS works out of the box with ROS (Robot Operating System), the most popular open-source robotics software framework.
We use Freedom at Kiwibot.com to deploy our robots in different geographies, it allowed us to move faster and save costs in front end developments to operate our fleet. The data that you get is amazing and their engineering team is incredible, happy to have freedom as partners!
Hi @srinivas_gowda1! Thanks for the questions! We are an api-first product so everything is built on an extremely scalable serverless stack which means if you have 1 hobby robot or 100,000 autonomous vehicles you can access them, log, visualize and even pilot them with very high quality data and good performance.
For the front end, it is built in React and we have tuned both the design and UX with our customers to focus on allowing robotic developers to easily understand what is going on under the hood in their systems.
The charts use multiple libraries and technologies as there isn’t one single one that can do it all. A few we use are D3 and Three.js, which are good core libraries to start with. We have layered significant work on data processing and visualization on top of them to make them work with the pretty significant data-load of many robots. Some robots publish 100's of topics many times per second with many megabyte payloads and our goal is to let developers see minutes and hours of this data in an efficient manner.
We would love to get as much feedback on our work as possible, so we can make it perform as cleanly as we can for robotic developers. If you have any ideas, we would love to hear them - and have you try it out yourself (for free)!

Looks really exciting! One question: what is the security model to make sure someone doesn't just take over my robot?

This looks very exciting and useful! Monitoring and telemetry is one of those things which you can plug in to any robotics project and make it more polished and scalable. Do you ever envision having a hobbyist/education subscription tier?

I went through a Freedom demo last week - this is an incredible remote diagnostic and control tool for all kinds of robots. The combination of powerful features and simple implementation/readout is really impressive.
For anyone working with robots or thinking about it, here’s a great way to get started!
My friends co-founded Freedom Robotics to make building and scaling robotics products as easy as launching an iOS app or running an e-commerce website on AWS. In the same vein, they just launched this new cloud logging product, so definitely check it out.
Congrats @makanikai and the Freedom Robotics team! I've been watching this project for a while now and I'm seriously so excited to see all the cool stuff y'all are building. I only wish I had a fleet of robots to manage so I could play around with it more!
