web_control_bridge

web_control_bridge is a ROS 2 package that communicates with four robots via UDP. It receives data from each robot, converts it into ROS 2 messages, and publishes it to corresponding topics. The system is designed to work in real-time with a web-based interface.

This package is used in conjunction with the web visualization frontend at:
