BlackBox Debuts ROS 2 Flight Recorder for Robot Diagnostics
TL;DR. BlackBox Robotics launched a flight data recorder for ROS 2 robots to track and diagnose unexpected field behaviors. - The system records 'episodes,' tags failures, and monitors diagnostics without major ROS 2 configuration changes. - It offers integrations via a ROS 2 node, REST API, and upcoming MQTT/RabbitMQ support for various robot setups. - The company seeks community feedback on improving the tool and addressing current robot debugging challenges.
- BlackBox acts as a flight data recorder for ROS 2 robots.
- It captures 'episodes' of robot activity to diagnose field failures.
- The tool simplifies monitoring and failure analysis for robot fleets.
- BlackBox integrates via a ROS 2 node, REST API, and will support MQTT/RabbitMQ.
