LiveKit introduces Portal for ROS 2, a tool for connecting robots to remote operators, cloud GPUs, web apps, or other robots on different networks, according to a LiveKit post on X dated November 10, 2026.

LiveKit says Portal does not require exposing DDS, changing existing nodes, or building a custom transport layer.

LiveKit says Portal connects a ROS graph to a LiveKit room. A single YAML file sets which topics, services and video cross the network, the direction of each, and how often they are sent.

    LiveKit runs rover SLAM on a remote GPU across separate networks

    AILiveKit demonstrates an operator driving a rover from a browser while a desktop GPU on another network runs SLAM on its camera feed. The GPU streams a 3D map back to Foxglove, and the source says none of the machines share a network.
