What it is

Robot Fleet Manager in short

A single-file Python server with a touch-first operator panel, written to run headless on an NVIDIA Jetson and be driven from a browser over the LAN. Real robots register over HTTP, stream telemetry and pull their next waypoint; the engine plans around obstacles, other robots, and no-go and slow zones.

Status

What works, and what does not

Works today
  • Robots register over HTTP, stream telemetry and pull their next waypoint
  • Planning around obstacles, other robots, no-go and slow zones
  • Vector basemaps offline from a packed tile file
  • WGS84, UTM and MGRS read-outs for field crews
  • Touch-first operator panel, served from the box itself
Not ready yet
  • By design it does not do real-time motion safety: that belongs on the robot, close to its sensors.
  • The server sends destinations and constraints, never the last-metre decision.
Under the hood

What had to be got right

01

The server sends goals

Real-time motion safety belongs on the robot. A fleet server over a network sends destinations and constraints, never the last-metre decision.

02

No cloud, no packages

It runs from a single file with the standard library, so a field box on a shelf keeps working with the internet unplugged.

03

Built for field crews

Touch-first panel and coordinate read-outs in the systems crews actually use (WGS84, UTM, MGRS).
