Developing and deploying a robotics data visualization web viewer for an openly accessible dataset.

Project Overview

Themes: Robotics Data; Data Visualization; Open Data

Approach: Software Development

Status: Active

Duration: August 2025 – March 2026

Goals

This project aims to develop and deploy a robotics data visualization web viewer for an openly accessible dataset. The work involves converting MCAP format data to RRD format and building a web-based interactive visualization tool for exploring robotics sensor data.

Deliverables

This collaboration produced a robotics data showcase featuring interactive visualizations of data snippets and a download link for the complete public dataset.

  • Data Processing pipeline - MCAP to RRD conversion
  • Visualization Website - web-based interactive tool using Rerun Web SDK

Outcomes

A statically hosted web application displaying robotics data with the Rerun Web SDK, enabling 3D visualization, session playback, and temporal navigation of sensor data.
