Tiivistelmä
This thesis represents the development of a web-based user interface to control and monitor the Unitree Go2 robot using WebRTC technology. The core concept was to design a
user-oriented system that can demonstrate all the sensor values and telemetry data at the
same time, controlling the Go2 movement according to the instructions from the interface.
Although there is a wide use of existing solutions like ROSbridge and WebSocket, they
lack efficiency in handling real-time video and control commands.
WebRTC comes up with an excellent solution by offering direct peer-to-peer communication, having lower latency. The system integrates a window with a live camera streaming
from the robot in video form, a dashboard for telemetry, and sensor values like IMU data,
foot force, etc., and the entire process of data transmission occurs securely over a private
local area network, keeping token-based access.
During the testing phase, the interface performed with a seamless and smooth response
time without any interruption. The data and video, which are one of the imperative elements, are updated in real-time and simultaneously.
To recapitulate, the integrated system demonstrates the necessity and usability of a multifunctional web-based interface, whereas WebRTC has emerged as an alternative to enhance operational efficiency with outstanding capabilities.
