Summary
According to a post on X by @livekit, LiveKit has launched Portal for ROS 2, which connects ROS 2 robots to remote operators, cloud GPUs, web apps or other robots on different networks. The post says this works without exposing DDS or changing existing nodes. A single YAML file sets which topics, services and video cross the network. The project is open source and comes with Docker images and Debian packages.

What happened
LiveKit Portal connects ROS 2 robots to remote operators, cloud GPUs, web apps or other robots on different networks without exposing DDS or changing existing nodes. One YAML file sets which topics, services and video cross the network, and it is open source with Docker images and Debian packages. Why it matters:...
Why it matters
Robotics teams working with ROS 2 could use this to teleoperate robots and offload compute across networks without building that connectivity themselves, according to the post. Teams may want to review the open-source code and its YAML configuration to judge fit with their own setups. The snippet does not include performance or security details, so those remain unclear.
