How It Works

The Rover UI operates through a bridge architecture connecting ROS2 and web technologies. The frontend application receives real-time data from ROS2 topics via ROSBridge, which acts as a WebSocket server that translates ROS2 messages into JSON format. This allows the web-based interface to subscribe to and display live rover telemetry data, including GPS coordinates and other sensor information, without requiring direct ROS2 integration in the browser.
