## A better way to connect to your robotic data.

Visualize, debug, and manage all your multimodal data in one purpose-built robotics and physical AI development platform.

### Data ingestion, simplified.

[Foxlet](https://docs.foxglove.dev/docs/fleet/foxlet) simplifies managing storage on your robot's local disk and automates data import. When new recordings are available, Foxlet imports them automatically or on-demand, eliminating the hassle of manually transferring and managing data for analysis. Additionally, you can upload recordings directly from the Foxglove UI or via the API.

### Connect to your live robots without the complications.

Connect to your live robot using the Foxglove WebSocket protocol for seamless, real-time data visualization. Build custom websocket servers using templates from the [foxglove/ws-protocol repository](https://github.com/foxglove/ws-protocol), and connect live data or remote files by entering the URL. Designed for simplicity and firewall compatibility.

### Versatile and effortless connections to your ROS data.

Easily connect to your ROS data with the native [Foxglove Bridge](https://docs.foxglove.dev/docs/connecting-to-data/ros-foxglove-bridge), a high-performance C++ node that seamlessly links ROS stacks to Foxglove via WebSocket. The Foxglove Bridge provides a stable, high-performance connection to ROS 1 and ROS 2 out of the box for smooth integration.

### Drag-and-drop simplicity for local files and offline visualization.

[Get started instantly](https://docs.foxglove.dev/docs/connecting-to-data/introduction). Load files effortlessly by dragging and dropping, double-clicking, or selecting "Open local file." With support for formats such as ROS 1 (.bag), ROS 2 (.db3), MCAP, and PX4 ULog, Foxglove delivers seamless integration and visualization for all your diverse data formats.
