About:
Foxglove Studio is an open-source robotics visualization and debugging platform that enables developers to inspect, analyze, and understand complex robotic data. It provides unified 2D and 3D visualization for sensor data, logs, and system state, helping teams accelerate development and diagnose issues in real-time or from recorded data.
Key Features:
  • Unified 2D/3D visualization for sensor data (e.g., LiDAR, cameras, maps)
  • Support for multiple robotics data formats (ROS, MCAP, Protobuf, etc.)
  • Real-time data inspection and playback from live robots or recordings
  • Extensible via custom panels and data sources
  • Collaborative features for team-based debugging and analysis
Use Cases:
  • Visualizing and debugging autonomous vehicle sensor fusion pipelines
  • Inspecting robot state and telemetry during development or field testing
  • Analyzing recorded mission data to diagnose failures or optimize performance
Alternatives:
  • rviz2 – ROS-native 3D visualization tool, less feature-rich and integrated than Foxglove's multi-format, web-based platform
  • Webviz – Another web-based robotics visualizer, originally from Cruise, now part of Foxglove's ecosystem
