Connect your robots with the Robsy Connector
Run one command on a computer on your robots' network, tick the robots Robsy finds, and send them to a point.
Steps
- In Robots, choose Connect robots, then Make the install command. Copy it: it carries a code that works once, for the next hour, and no robot credential.
- Run it on a Linux computer with Docker that is on the same network as your robots. The page shows the computer's name and a match code; docker logs robsy-connector on that computer shows the same code.
- Within about 35 seconds Robsy lists the ROS 2 robots with a Nav2 navigator it found there, each with whether it is ready to drive, its position and its battery. Tick the ones to add and name them.
- Choose the facility and floor they are on and choose Add. Robsy uses the robot's own map as the floor's plan, so each robot appears online with its position, and you can send it to a point from the task form.
- The Connector keeps each robot's credential in its own volume on that computer: anyone with shell access to that computer can read them. Remove the Connector from the same page to switch them all off at once.
