HausBots

A professional-grade React Native application for real-time control and monitoring of wall-climbing crawler robots, featuring low-latency video and precise telemetry.

The Project

Overview

HausBots Robot Control is a high-performance mobile application designed for the precise operation of industrial wall-climbing robots. It provides a mission-critical interface for operators, combining low-latency control loops, real-time telemetry, and hardware-accelerated video streaming. The app acts as the primary cockpit for the robot, bridging advanced robotics (ROS) with a user-friendly, responsive mobile experience.

Capabilities

Key Features

For Operators

Low-Latency Driving Real-time control loops (100Hz+) using native worklets for smooth, responsive robot movement
Hardware-Accelerated Video Direct RTSP streaming from onboard IP cameras with minimal latency
Telemetry Dashboard Real-time monitoring of battery, suction pressure, motor status, and sensor data (IMU/LIDAR)
Gamepad Support Native integration for physical USB/Bluetooth controllers via HID mapping
PTZ Camera Control Full remote control of pan, tilt, zoom, and lighting for mission visualization

For Technicians

Automated Deployment One-script setup for ROS workspaces and systemd services on the robot's SBC
Diagnostic Tools Low-level ROS message monitor and system health alerts for motor and connection failures
Architecture Robust WebSocket-based communication bridge between mobile devices and ROS Master
