Get your first robot connected and ready for deployment using Robotair. This quickstart guide walks you through the essential steps to build, deploy, and monitor your ROS application—whether in the lab or across a fleet.
🚦 Quick Setup Checklist⿻
-
Step 1: Create a Robot Register your robot in the Robotair dashboard. This will generate a secure onboarding token used during agent installation.
-
Step 2: Install the Agent on Your Robot Run the one-line installation script on the robot using the token from Step 1. This connects the robot to your Robotair workspace.
-
Step 3: Build Your Application Use the Robotair Build wizard to containerize your ROS application and generate a GitHub or GitLab CI pipeline.
-
Step 4: Deploy to Your Robot Create a Docker Compose deployment and assign it to your robot or fleet using the Robotair dashboard.
Invite Your Teamâ¿»
Robotair is designed for team collaboration. Invite members from your organization to:
- Monitor deployments, logs, and metrics in real time
- Push updates to individual robots or entire fleets
- Contribute to build automation and CI/CD configuration
Access the Organization section in the dashboard to manage team invitations and permissions.
Fleet Managementâ¿»
Robotair supports powerful abstractions to match real-world robotics environments:
- Fleets let you group robots by site, hardware version, or function
- Multi-computer Robots allow you to unify multiple onboard computers under a single robot identity
This structure helps you roll out coordinated updates and maintain consistent observability across your deployment landscape.
