ROS Controller

ROS Controller is a universal mobile controller for ROS-based robots that connects over a rosbridge WebSocket to provide a clean, real-time interface for teleoperation and monitoring. The app combines dual joysticks for movement and body control with sliders for height/posture and speed, plus customizable mode buttons so common behaviors are a tap away. Users who need responsive control, live telemetry (motors, IMU, battery, CPU) and multi-robot management will appreciate ROS Controller's robot-agnostic approach, which avoids robot-specific code changes while working over standard network connections.

Key Features

⭐ Dual joystick control (movement + body) — ROS Controller provides precise teleoperation for locomotion and body adjustments.

⭐ Height / posture slider for quick vertical adjustments and stance control.

⭐ Speed slider to scale responsiveness and limit maximum velocity on the fly.

⭐ Fully customizable mode buttons to save and trigger common behaviors with a single tap.

⭐ Real-time telemetry display showing link status, motor data, IMU, battery and CPU metrics.

⭐ Multi-robot support with the ability to save configurations and switch between robots easily.

Advantages

✅ Intuitive, responsive interface designed for real-time control and immediate feedback.

✅ Robot-agnostic design means ROS Controller works without modifying robot-side code.

✅ Built-in telemetry and status displays help operators keep an eye on critical robot health metrics.

✅ Multi-robot management and saved profiles streamline switching between different machines.

Disadvantages

❎ Requires a running rosbridge (WebSocket) endpoint on the robot or networked host to function.

❎ Only controls robots that expose compatible ROS topics and control interfaces.

❎ Advanced or custom behavior setups may require familiarity with ROS topic naming and message types to configure.
