Advantech Robotic Suite/RViz

Introduction

RViz2 is a 3D visualization tool in ROS 2 (Robot Operating System 2) that enables users to visualize sensor data, robot state, and environment in real-time. It's commonly used for debugging, simulation, and monitoring, making it essential in robotics development. RViz2 supports a variety of data types, including point clouds, laser scans, camera images, and robot models. With a flexible plugin-based architecture, RViz2 allows users to customize the display layout and add features to meet specific visualization needs. By running RViz2 alongside ROS 2, developers can effectively analyze and interact with their robotic systems in an intuitive 3D environment.
