Overview
The Directed Machines fleet management portal enables detailed analysis of robot telemetry: work done, energy use, distance travelled, with work plan overlays, multi robot reports plus a rich query language for searching across the hundreds of metrics each robot reports. This tutorial is an introduction to the telemetry user interface.
Telemetry Details View
To inspect robot telemetry, click on the robot icon you want to inspect, in the fleet management list
In the robot specific page, called the Details View, click on the "Inspect Telemetry" button to expose the following controls. A heatmap will not be displayed until a time span has been selected and you click refresh. All times and dates use GMT in the format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS (I.E. "2023-06-28T10:32:00")
A more detailed walkthrough of the sequence can be seen in the video:
Visualizing motion and metrics video
Charge state
Click / touch the battery icon on the upper left corner to see the latest charge rate (in watts) and estimate time to full charge (in hours)
Metrics and motion path
The user can select a timespan, touch/click refresh, then inspect the motion path of the robot. By clicking on the path itself you can see relevant metrics for that point in time and quickly traverse the timeseries +/- a minute around that point in space and time. If a specific point on the heatmap is not selected, the aggregate data will be shown for the whole timeline.
Some examples of statistics to display telemetry data for are as follows: "left_motor" "amps" "volts" "watts" "e-stop" "temp" - degrees in Celsius
The video below shows the sequence from fleet management page all the way to clicking on the robot motion path and typing in the metrics you want to visualize for that point in the path:

Third Party Topographic Maps
CalTopo has high-resolution topo maps of much of the use (Details here | coverage map). See an example at the link below: https://caltopo.com/map.html#ll=47.54066,-122.33736&z=15&b=r&a=c
