Reality check

A demo shows what may be possible. These points help judge whether the product fits day-to-day use.

Works well when
  • Simulation, control, perception and repeatable experiments
  • Teams that can manage dependencies and hardware interfaces
  • Prototyping before committing to a physical deployment
What to check
  • Supported hardware, GPU requirements and version compatibility
  • Documentation, examples and community response
  • How simulation results transfer to the real robot
Not a magic solution
  • A guarantee that simulation equals a production cell
  • A replacement for safety validation on hardware
  • A low-maintenance toolchain without version ownership

About

Foxglove Fleet is on-device software from Foxglove that acts as the connection layer between robots and teams. It records logs in MCAP via C++, Python, or Rust SDKs, and Foxlet uploads completed MCAP or ROS bag files automatically or on demand. Fleet provides secure remote connectivity for live telemetry inspection, behavior monitoring, and teleoperations workflows, and supports device tokens, preapproval, and deployment as a deb, static binary, or Docker image on AMD64/ARM64.
