# ROSWeb

ROSWeb is a web based supervisory system for Robot Operating System (ROS)

It is a web application that manages robots data visualization widgets on a single web page.

More about the project, how to use, how to contribute, demos and tutorials can be found at [this website][roswebpage]

Documentation can be fount at [this website][doc].

See the [working demo][demo].

## How to use

As ROSWeb is a tool for [ROS (Robot Operation System)][ros], it depends on a machine running the roscore process.
It is a web application and it depends on websockets provided by [rosbridge server][rosbridge].
Until now, it is being developed and tested using Google Chrome browser.

1. Install RosbridgeSuite package and WebVideoServer

```sh
    $ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rosbridge-suite
    $ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-web-video-server
    ```

2. Install dependencies
    ```sh
    $ rosdep update
    $ rosdep install rosbridge_server
    $ rosdep install web_video_server
    ```

4. Install latest development version of rosbrige_server [you can skip this, but then the ActionLib Widget is not working]
    ```sh
    $ # go to your catkin workspace /src
    $ git clone -b develop https://github.com/RobotWebTools/rosbridge_suite.git
    $ cd ..
    $ source devel/setup.bash
    $ catkin_make
    $  # edit src/rosbridge_suite/rosbridge_server/launch/rosbridge_websocket.launch
    $  # replace each glob args line of  <arg name="topics_glob" default="[]" /> 
    $  # with <arg name="topics_glob" default="[*]" /> 
    $  # if you do not add the "*" no topic will be shown!
    $ roslaunch rosbridge_server rosbridge_websocket.launch
    $ rosrun web_video_server web_video_server
    ```
 
4. Launch rosbridge websocket server and web video server
    ```sh
    $ roslaunch rosbridge_server rosbridge_websocket.launch
    $ rosrun web_video_server web_video_server
    ```

5. Open the [working demo page][demo] (or download it to your computer) and connect to your ROS server (usually ws://localhost:9090)
