Machine Teleops
The portal's control hub — connect to a robot, drive it, and run its autonomy.
Machine Teleops is the portal page where you actually operate a specific robot. Connect to a machine and you get its live camera feeds, manual driving controls, and the controls for everything autonomous it can do. If you're doing something to a robot, you're most likely doing it here.
Driving the robot
Open the Camera tab for the robot's live feeds (Front, Top, Down) alongside the manual teleoperation controls. Drive it with the on-screen controls, or pair an Xbox controller over Bluetooth and use that instead.
On a physical robot, the game controller takes precedence over the AI — controller input overrides AI-generated motion. See Unitree Go2 controls for the button mapping.
Running autonomy from here
Machine Teleops is also where you launch and monitor autonomy — connect a machine, pick a map, and start a run. Each capability has its own guide:
Mapping & SLAM — build a map
Navigation (Nav2) — send the robot to a goal
Patrol — loop a route between waypoints
Maps, Routes & Locations — manage what it navigates on
Try it without hardware
The Cloud Simulator walkthrough covers connecting to a robot in Machine Teleops and driving it — the fastest way to see this end to end without a physical robot.
