Settings: System Status

Overview

The System Status screen provides the "Physical Health Report" for the robot's onboard controller. It allows administrators to monitor hardware performance in real-time, ensuring that the robot's computer and electronics are running efficiently.

Key Features

• CPU & Memory Monitoring: Live gauges showing the processing load and memory usage of the robot's Linux controller.
• Disk Health: Track available storage space for maps, logs, and system data.
• Temperature Tracking: Monitor the internal heat levels of the CPU and GPU to prevent thermal throttling.
• System Uptime: View exactly how long the robot has been running since its last reboot.
• Core Process List: Monitor the health of critical system services (ROS Bridge, Web Server, Database).

User Workflow

1. Performance Check: An administrator notices a lag in map loading and checks the "CPU Usage" gauge for spikes.
2. Storage Management: Before a large mapping project, the user verifies that there is sufficient "Disk Space" available.
3. Thermal Monitoring: During operation in a hot environment, the user keeps an eye on the "System Temperature" to ensure the robot stays within safe limits.
