Transitive Robotics Tryout | Cloud Robotics WG Meeting 2026-03-23
The working group will test a service for deploying robots and capturing data, building on prior observability stack success.
The ROS Cloud Robotics Working Group has scheduled a live tryout of Transitive Robotics for March 23, 2026. Transitive is a cloud service that enables users to deploy and manage robots with full-stack capabilities, including critical data capture and storage functions. This session is framed as a practical case study for the group's ongoing focus on Logging & Observability in robotic systems, aiming to test how such a platform handles real-world data pipelines.
This demo follows the group's recent technical success with the Canonical Observability Stack (COS), where they successfully hosted the full monitoring stack and connected a simulated robot to it. That achievement allowed participants to view live logs and system statistics from the simulation, proving the stack's viability. The upcoming Transitive Robotics tryout represents the next logical step, moving from a foundational observability framework to testing a comprehensive, commercial-grade robot management platform. Recordings of past sessions are available on YouTube, and the group encourages new participants to join via their public calendar or Google Group.
