Teleoperate and navigate rovers
If you have a rover base, you can use Viam to teleoperate it and to navigate autonomously. Once you have configured your machine, you can remotely control your machine on the app’s CONTROL tab, and set up autonomous navigation with the navigation service.
1. Teleoperate You can remotely control your rover from anywhere through the Viam app.

2. Program to move Remotely control your rover base programmatically with a Viam SDK by making calls to the base API. Or, configure the base remote control service to teleoperate your base with an input controller. |
3. Prepare your base to navigate Configure a movement sensor as part of your machine to use navigation. Additionally, configure and calibrate the frame system for GPS navigation. Then, configure the navigation service on your machine. |
4. Navigate autonomously Define a path for your rover to navigate with waypoints and obstacles. Then, start and stop your machine’s motion along the path and view your machine’s current location. You can use the map interface on the CONTROL tab or the navigation API. |
