Problem
Robotics developers often struggle to collect, store, and analyze high‑bandwidth sensor telemetry from ROS2 robots without modifying source code, making debugging and fleet monitoring time‑consuming and error‑prone.
Solution
Optimal Autonomy’s TraceHouse platform provides a robot‑native observability stack that streams LiDAR, camera, pose, and kinematics data from ROS2 robots into a searchable index with a single‑command agent installation. The built‑in ROSQL engine understands ROS2 topic graphs, URDF/XACRO structures, and kinematic relationships, enabling fast, expressive queries and natural‑language search. An AI assistant leverages the live telemetry to generate queries, surface relevant evidence, and trace issues back to their root cause within seconds. The service offers enterprise‑grade infrastructure, configurable per‑topic capture strategies, rate limits, and retention policies to support production robot fleets at scale.
Target Audience
Primary customers are ROS2 robotics engineers and development teams that operate single robots or large autonomous fleets and need real‑time observability, debugging, and fleet health monitoring.
Features
- One‑click TraceHouse agent installs on any ROS2 robot and streams high‑bandwidth sensor data without source code changes
- ROSQL query engine with built‑in awareness of kinematics, navigation, actions, and URDF/XACRO for component‑level queries
- Natural‑language query support and AI debugging partner that auto‑generates ROSQL queries and identifies root causes
- Per‑topic capture strategies and rate‑limiting controls to manage bandwidth and storage usage
- Distributed tracing via rmw_robotops adds OpenTelemetry‑compatible traces to all pub/sub/service/action calls
- Scalable cloud index with configurable retention (7‑30 days) and storage tiers for fleets of any size
