I built an open-source React component library for robotics and drone dashboards

Been working on Altara for a while — it's a real-time telemetry UI component library for React, specifically for robotics, aerospace, and industrial IoT.

The problem I kept seeing: every team building a ground control station or robot monitoring dashboard rebuilds the same components from scratch — attitude indicators, live charts, LiDAR viewers, occupancy grids. There was no component library that understood these domains.

What I shipped:

  • 30+ components across aerospace, autonomous vehicles, and industrial packages
  • Native ROS2 (rosbridge) and MQTT adapters
  • Full TypeScript, Storybook docs, MIT licensed

Still early — would love honest feedback on what's missing or broken. Happy to answer questions about the technical decisions too.

Open-source React component library for robotics telemetry dashboards — Altara

Built a library of real-time UI components specifically for robotics and telemetry — things like attitude indicators, LiDAR point cloud viewers, occupancy grids, and time-series charts. Works with ROS2 via rosbridge and MQTT out of the box.

Looking for honest feedback from people building real systems.

Built an open-source React component library for ROS2 dashboards

Been building Altara, a React component library that connects to rosbridge and ships with real robotics components — attitude indicator, occupancy grid, LiDAR point cloud viewer, time-series charts, and more.

Tired of seeing people rebuild the same GCS components from scratch. Would genuinely love feedback on what's missing or wrong.
