Formats

Overview

Roboto has first-class support for formats like ros, px4, mcap, and parquet — and can be extended to custom ones as well.

Supported formats

The table below outlines all of the log formats that Roboto currently has out-of-the-box support for.

Format	Extensions	Ingestion Action	Notes
ROS 2	.mcap, .db3	ros_ingestion	ros1msg, ros2msg, protobuf, jsonschema
ROS 1	.bag	ros_ingestion
PX4	.ulg	ulog_ingestion
Parquet	.parquet	parquet_ingestion	Flatten and specify timestamp column and units.
CSV	.csv	csv_ingestion	Specify timestamp column and units.
Journal	.log	journal_log_ingestion

All of the ingestion actions are available in the Action Hub and can be invoked on your log files manually, or automatically with triggers.

It’s also possible to create ingestion actions for custom formats. We plan to provide examples of these in the near future. Contact us to learn more and discuss your use case.
