The Foxglove Bridge connects your ROS stack to Foxglove. It uses a protocol similar to rosbridge, but with the ability to support additional schema formats such as ROS 2.msg and ROS 2.idl, parameters, graph introspection, and non-ROS systems. The bridge is implemented as a C++ node and is designed for high performance with low overhead.
The foxglove_bridge uses the Foxglove WebSocket protocol, a similar protocol to rosbridge but with the ability to support additional schema formats, parameters, graph introspection, and non-ROS systems. The bridge is written in C++ and designed for high performance with low overhead to minimize the impact to your robot stack. The best way to visualize your live ROS 2 robot in Foxglove is using the Foxglove Bridge.
It's written using the Foxglove SDK in C++ and is designed for high performance with low overhead. We provide reasonable defaults to help get you up and running quickly, but it's also highly configurable. We provide multiple ways to install Foxglove Bridge.
The foxglove_bridge uses the Foxglove SDK (this repo!), a similar protocol to rosbridge but with the ability to support additional schema formats such as ROS 2.msg and ROS 2.idl, parameters, graph introspection, and non. The Foxglove Bridge will automatically subscribe to all topics in your ROS system and make them available for live visualization over WebSocket. Powering Physical AI with visual context.
Foxglove is the leading platform for robotics and Physical AI developers-built from the ground up to support the most advanced, scalable, and geospatially aware visualizations in the industry. From perception and control to simulation and full-system integration, Foxglove provides the tools you need to deeply understand your robots, debug faster, and. Foxglove WebSocket bridge for ROS 1.
Contribute to foxglove/ros. Foxglove is actually super widely adopted in the industry, much more adopted that what I thought. Difference between Foxglove Bridge and Rosbridge? Learned from Ashwin, though I am still operating at a higher level of abstraction.
The Foxglove bridge is maintained by Foxglove, whereas the Foxglove Rosbridge is maintained by OSRF.
