About This Offer

Live ROS Simulation Metrics & Developer API Access — at No Cost to TIC Participants

The TWAIN ROS endpoint delivers a fully-simulated Robot Operating System (ROS) telemetry stream, purpose-built for developers and integrators participating in the TWAIN Innovation Cloud. The live simulation endpoint at https://twaininnovationcloud.org/twain-ros-dashboard-heatmap.html generates realistic, continuously-refreshing robotics metrics across nodes, topics, actions, sensors, compute, network, and billing dimensions — all structured as production-grade JSON.

As a registered TIC participant, you can request a personal API key to authenticate against the endpoint and receive authenticated, session-tracked responses. This enables you to build dashboards, test integrations, validate billing logic, and demonstrate TWAIN-compatible ROS workflows against real, dynamic data — without needing physical robot hardware.

This offer is designed to accelerate your ROS integration development cycle within the TIC environment. Whether you are building a monitoring dashboard, a billing calculation engine, a diagnostics tool, or a proof-of-concept document-scanning robot workflow, the TWAIN ROS endpoint gives you the live data you need from day one.

Live Simulation Endpoint
https://twaininnovationcloud.org/twain-ros-dashboard-heatmap.html
Returns JSON with 40+ live metrics across 8 sections: Nodes, Topics, Actions, Sensors, Compute, Network, Billing, and Exceptions. Requires x-api-key header for authenticated access. Refreshes with new simulated values on every request.
What's Included
  • ✓ Personal API key provisioned for your TIC participant account, enabling authenticated access to the TWAIN ROS simulation endpoint.
  • ✓ 40+ live ROS metrics refreshed on every request — covering node health, topic throughput, action latency, sensor data rates, compute load, and network performance.
  • ✓ Billing dimension data including per-node-minute, per-message, per-action-call, and per-sensor-MB rates with real-time estimated cost and overage charge fields.
  • ✓ Exception / diagnostic metrics section capturing crash patterns, drop source analysis, timeout root causes, frame drop patterns, and DDS discovery anomalies — not available in standard ROS tooling.
  • ✓ Pre-built Heatmap Dashboard — a ready-to-use HTML dashboard with hover modals, heat scoring, and auto-refresh that you can deploy immediately with your API key.
  • ✓ TWAIN Direct compatibility — the ROS endpoint is designed to integrate alongside TWAIN Direct scan workflows, enabling combined robotics-plus-scanning use cases in a single TIC project.
  • ✓ Developer support from the TIC technical team for endpoint integration questions, schema documentation, and dashboard customization during your innovation project.
