Transitive 2.0 is here!
We are thrilled to announce a new major version of Transitive, the open-source framework for full-stack robotics. Version 2.0 adds significant new integrations and features: storage of historic and time-series data in ClickHouse, visualization in Grafana, and custom alerting via Alertmanager. Some of our capabilities, like the free Health Monitoring capability, already use these features, providing significant added value to robotics companies with growing fleets.
Fleet Operation at Scale
Until now Transitive has been very much focused on transactional features needed for the operation of robot fleets. This includes our most popular capabilities: WebRTC Video streaming, Remote Teleop, and ROS Tool. These capabilities are particularly empowering to robotics companies that have not yet deployed more than 50 robots. Transitive’s open-source MQTTSync data protocol, its realization of full-stack packages, and the built-in fine-grained authentication and authorization features provided a solid foundation for us to build such transactional capabilities efficiently and reliably.
But as fleets grow so do the challenges in monitoring and operating. This means that companies need tools that go beyond the direct form of one operator working on one robot at a time, but provide both longitudinal as well as historic views of the fleet. Similarly, passive monitoring and alerting need to gradually replace active monitoring by (remote) operators. Supporting robotics companies in this second chapter of growth was our goal in this new major release, while still staying true to our philosophy of embeddability, ease of use, and fine-grained, namespaced access control.
