Tool for Designing GUI for a Robotic System

Dear Community,

My question may be inappropriate for this place. I apologize in advance.

Which library/tool do you use for designing GUI for a robotic system? Following are my requirements: 1. Supports ROS 2. Touchscreen Internface 3. Web-based (Preferred)

I am aware of RQT [1]. However, the look and feel of RQT UI don't look appropriate for a touchscreen interface. One candidate is Robot Web Tools [2].

Please advice.

  1. RQT: http://wiki.ros.org/rqt
  2. Robot Web Tools: http://robotwebtools.org/

Thanks.

Not a full solution, but could be the base - Foxglove

Hi @Ravi Joshi, one option is to use KivyMD, there is a good video tutorial how to connect with ROS: https://youtu.be/4ffeJe8uBVw

However there are no examples for ROS2
