App README

Multi-robot fleet management platform.**

Simulate real hardware robots through ROS 2. Control them through a web-based 3D dashboard. Add AI perception for intelligent autonomy.

Maintained by: Mayank (steeltroops.ai@gmail.com)

What This Is

A full-stack robotics platform that mirrors how real robotics companies build their infrastructure:

—ROS 2 Humble for robot simulation and control
—Node.js Backend bridging ROS 2 to the web via WebSocket
—Next.js Dashboard with real-time 3D visualization (React Three Fiber)
—ML Service for computer vision and intelligent perception (PyTorch + FastAPI)

Browser (3D Dashboard) ←→ Node.js Backend ←→ ROS 2 ←→ ML Service

Architecture

Service	Location	Runtime	Purpose
Frontend	`apps/frontend`	Next.js 16	3D Operator Dashboard
Backend	`apps/backend`	Fastify + tsx	ROS 2 Bridge, API, WS
ML Service	`apps/ml-service`	FastAPI + UV	Vision & Inference
Robotics	`robotics/ros2_ws`	ROS 2 Humble	Simulation & Control
Shared	`packages/`	TypeScript	Type Contracts

Supported Robot Types

Robot	Phase	Status
AMR (Mobile)	1	Working
AMR + Nav2	3	Planned
6-DOF Arm	4	Planned
Drone	7+	Planned
Swarm (10+ AMRs)	7	Planned

Quick Start

Prerequisites

—WSL 2 (Ubuntu 22.04)
—Bun (curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash)
—UV (curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh)
—ROS 2 Humble (installed in WSL)

Setup

bash

# Clone into WSL
cd ~/projects
git clone <repo-url> ros2-robot-stack
cd ros2-robot-stack

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Source ROS 2
source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash

# Build ROS workspace (first time only)
cd robotics/ros2_ws
colcon build
source install/setup.bash
cd ../..

Run the Full Stack

bash

./scripts/dev-all.sh

This launches:

—Frontend: http://localhost:3000
—Backend: http://localhost:4000
—ROS 2 Mock Robot: Publishing telemetry on /odom, /battery, /map

Manual Launch (Individual Services)

bash

# Terminal 1: ROS 2 Simulation
source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
cd robotics/ros2_ws && source install/setup.bash
python3 src/simulation_manager/src/mock_robot.py

# Terminal 2: Backend
cd apps/backend
bun run dev

# Terminal 3: Frontend
cd apps/frontend
bun run dev
