Foxglove

The Unitree Robotics LAFAN1 Retargeting Dataset visualized using Foxglove. ?? We had a little extra fun with this one—adding a feature to give the grid a fill color and adjusting another grid to shine down on the G1 dancing on the grass ??. Playfulness aside, this dataset employs some fascinating techniques. The retargeting process for this dataset uses numerical optimization techniques based on interaction mesh and inverse kinematics (IK). This approach ensures that retargeted motions adhere to end-effector pose constraints and joint position/velocity limits, effectively minimizing issues like foot slippage. However, this process focuses solely on kinematic constraints, excluding dynamic constraints and actuator limitations. As a result, while the dataset provides optimized motion trajectories, real robots may not execute these trajectories flawlessly due to unmodeled dynamic factors. But since Foxglove has a G1, we can always put it to the test, right? The LAFAN1 Retargeting Dataset is a valuable resource for researchers and developers working to improve humanoid robot motion. By providing retargeted motion data tailored to specific robot models, it helps advance the development of more natural and fluid robotic movements. Thanks for the dataset Unitree Robotics. Keep joy coming! Link to check out the dataset directly in Foxglove in the comments.

FST Lisboa is proud to convey our deep appreciation to the outstanding team at Foxglove for their unwavering support. Foxglove’s innovative approach to enhancing the robotics development experience has been a perfect match for our objectives at FST Lisboa. Their advanced software solutions have had a tremendous impact, streamlining our workflow and helping us reach key milestones much faster. We are sincerely thankful to Foxglove for playing an essential role in the creation of our prototype and for their commitment to driving progress in the robotics sector. Their support has been a critical factor in our success.

?? Foxglove v2.23 is now available ?? Highlights ?? You can now preview topics before importing with the Foxglove Agent. The Foxglove Agent tracks metadata for each MCAP recording, including available topics, and forwards this information to Foxglove Cloud. This topic-level data is now accessible directly in Foxglove, allowing you to inspect and verify topics before importing recordings, ensuring a more efficient and informed data workflow. Plus ? The Plot panel now allows you to lock the x and y axis scales to a 1:1 ratio. You can enable this setting through the “Axis scales” dropdown in the panel settings, ensuring proportional data visualization for precise analysis. ? UI improvements – Hidden tooltips while dragging panels, better vertical scrollbar in State Transitions panel, and pretty-formatted timestamps in the Table panel. ? New Image panel support – View both original and converted messages with message converters. ? Recording filters – Filter recordings to show only those not linked to a device. ? Performance updates – Lower network usage for layout sync, faster H.264 video decoding, and optimized User Scripts loading. ? New API option – /data/stream now supports compressionFormat for MCAP chunk compression. Download and changelog links in the comments ??

Welcome to Foxglove, Jaclyn Ting. We're very excited about everything you're bringing to Foxglove as the new Head of Finance.

In person time is the key to successful remote work. What? At Foxglove we’re fully remote, but hold week-long offsites twice a year. It’s a great opportunity to build friendships, hold ad-hoc discussions, and brainstorm future product direction. Feeling very energized after spending the week with this incredible team!

Evelyn "Fifi" Yeung, Reframe Systems' founding engineer, is passionate about building scalable and intelligent robotic systems to unlock climate-friendly housing as a basic human right. Fifi and some of the Reframe team were at #Actuate2024 last year. Check out what they had to say as we get ready to announce #Actuate2025!

?? Spotlight: Técnico Solar Boat, a student-led team at Instituto Superior Técnico, is developing advanced solar and hydrogen-powered vessels to push the boundaries of sustainable maritime technology. Their latest autonomous prototype, S?o Pedro 01 (SP01), integrates stereo cameras, lidar, and AI-driven navigation. Using Foxglove, they visualize and debug real-time sensor data for improved autonomy. Their projects, including hydrofoil-equipped solar boats and hydrogen fuel cell vessels, demonstrate the future of clean maritime mobility. Check out the full spotlight article in the comments ??
