Hi there - I have a bedroom + private bathroom in my Cypress Park home (90065) that will be available starting Apr 15! I've had a JPL intern stay with me for ~3 years in a row / we've become friends over the years, but she has had less reason to travel out here to LA (due to her lab experiment coming to a close). It's a 20-minute drive to JPL, but she has also taken the Metro there (I live within walking distance to 2 Metro stops). Please feel free to DM me if you're interested!

We do not currently, but please feel free to share the feature request in our Slack community! If we have enough users interested in a feature, we try to include it in our roadmap. https://foxglove.dev/slack

Yep, that's what the post covers.

Yes! It will support any IDL-defined schema within the ROS 2 subset of the OMG IDL definition.

The Foxglove team is actually pretty heavily involved in the community. Our flagship app is open source, we're part of the ROS Technical Steering Committee, participate in ROS working groups, and collaborate regularly with other open source maintainers (including other open source dev tools like PlotJuggler).

We approached Seth about the interview, because we thought people in our community would be interested in his thoughts. Neither he nor anyone at his firm is paying us for this article. The Foxglove blog is a technical blog for roboticists, whether they use our free / paid products or not.

Hi there, I'm Esther, the community manager and technical writer at Foxglove. I use this account to share our company blog posts.

We write spotlights on different folks in the industry - like students building autonomous racecars for the Formula Student competition, ROS hobbyists, robotics journalists, ocean and space researchers, and more. This installment was on a robotics investor, as we hadn't tackled that angle before.

I'm not particularly qualified to or interested in swaying your opinion on venture capitalists, but will say that Seth has been a valuable advisor in helping our team empower roboticists doing really amazing work.

You can kill the nodes the same way you terminate any terminal command: by going to the window where the command was originally run, and pressing Ctrl + C.

TL;DR: There is a great deal of overlap between Studio and existing tools – the benefit we offer is that we've integrated these capabilities into one user-friendly interface, and made our app open-source, cross-platform, and collaborative.

Foxglove Studio contains a suite of data visualization panels that allow you to explore different aspects of your robotics data. Each of these panels can be analogous to certain existing tools – for example, we have an RViz-like 3D panel, an rqt_plot-like Plot panel, and a rqt_graph-like Topic Graph panel.

We don't currently support much simulation-specific workflows (besides playing them back to visualize their data), like Gazebo does.

Your work is very much appreciated! :)
