webpage to control a ros system
The goal is to build a webpage with 3 image topics[AKA web streams] and 2 client nodes(AKA inputs for the user accessing the webpage) of a ros system.
- Is this even possible?
- If yes, what exactly do i do? I have no experience in web stuff.
Thanks in advance
The typical answer to these types of questions is: yes, use rosbridge_suite together with RobotWebTools. That would allow you to create something from scratch.
There are some precooked solutions that use the above, but if you ..
.. have no experience in web development using any of that is going to be difficult. It might help if you can describe what your actual goal is: what is this web application supposed to do / allow?
For industrial applications and HMIs, flexgui might be an option. It's ROS integrated and targeted specifically at industrial interfaces. The basic variant is also open-source: flexgui_industrial.
Not industrial. Just for a prototype for my project.
I have a ROS system with a couple of cameras, a mobile base & a robotic arm. I have 2 servers one for the base and one for the arm. I need to build a webpage/application which links to this ros system and must contain 3 web streams & 2 user inputs which link to the ros servers(aka ros-clients)
Seems like ros web tools should be a good enough system for now. Thanks for you help @gvdhoorn
