Monitor Your Entire Robot Fleet in Real-Time
Purpose-built robot fleet monitoring software for ROS 2 teams. Track battery, telemetry, ROS nodes, and health across every robot β from 3 robots to 3,000. Setup in 2 minutes.
Trusted by robotics teams running ROS 2, Jetson, and edge AI workloads
Why teams choose VnRobo for robot fleet monitoring
Most robot fleet management tools are either built for Fortune 500 budgets or require weeks of DevOps to stand up. VnRobo takes the middle road: dedicated ROS 2 robot monitoring software with transparent pricing, self-serve onboarding, and a free tier that actually works for real production fleets.
Everything you need to monitor a robot fleet
Built specifically for ROS 2, Jetson, and mixed robotic workloads.
Real-time Heartbeat API
Every robot sends health data every 30 seconds. See battery, CPU, RAM, ROS node status, custom metrics β all live, all searchable.
Smart Alerts & Notifications
Threshold alerts (battery < 20%), compound rules (offline + critical mission), and webhook integrations to Slack, PagerDuty, or your own endpoints.
ROS 2 Native Agent
pip install vnrobo-agent on your ROS 2 Humble, Iron, Jazzy, or Rolling robot. Detects nodes, publishers, subscribers, and custom topics automatically.
GPS & Map View
Track mobile robots in real-time on a map. Historical trajectories, geofence alerts, and location-based mission assignment.
Offline Detection
Configurable timeout (default 2 minutes) detects disconnected robots. Know within seconds when a robot drops off instead of hours later.
Multi-Org & Team Roles
Separate development, staging, and production fleets. Role-based access control, invite customers to scoped dashboards, audit every action.
From zero to monitored fleet in 3 steps
1. Sign up free
No credit card. Create an org, add your first robot β get ORG_ID and ROBOT_TOKEN instantly.
2. Install agent

Frequently asked questions
What is robot fleet monitoring software?βΌ
Robot fleet monitoring software is a platform that collects telemetry (battery, CPU, location, status) from multiple robots and presents it in a centralized dashboard with alerting. It replaces ad-hoc SSH access, custom Flask dashboards, or per-robot logging tools.
Does VnRobo work with ROS 1?βΌ
Our agent is ROS 2 first-class. ROS 1 works via a bridge but is not our focus. If you are still on ROS 1, we recommend planning a migration β ROS 1 Noetic reaches end-of-life in 2025.
What happens beyond 3 robots on the free tier?βΌ
The free plan stops accepting new robots at 3. You can upgrade to Pro ($29/month for 25 robots) or Business ($79/month for 100 robots). No forced upgrades or data deletion.
Can I self-host VnRobo?βΌ
Not currently. We focus on the SaaS experience. For self-hosting, look at Open-RMF + Foxglove or similar open-source stacks.
How is this different from Grafana + InfluxDB?βΌ
Grafana is general-purpose observability. VnRobo is built for robot fleets specifically β pre-built ROS 2 integrations, robot-specific alerts (offline detection, battery thresholds), and fleet-level views (geofencing, multi-org). Faster to set up, less flexible than raw Grafana.
