[Feature request]: Site Editor live visualization

[arjo129]

Before proceeding, is there an existing issue or discussion for this?

• I have done a search for similar issues and discussions.

Description

The Site Editor offers a more modern user interface and superior cross-platform packaging and distribution capabilities compared to alternative visualization platforms.

Implementation Considerations

• Visualize real-time robot positions derived from odometry data.
• Display planned paths and cross-agent traffic dependencies.
• Visualize safe operating zone boundaries (bubbles).
• Stretch goal: Incorporate additional relevant Nav2 status information.

Alternatives

1. ROS2-Enabled Site Editor Application: One approach is to develop a custom application built on the Site Editor that links with ros2_rust. However, this introduces significant challenges regarding the packaging and distribution of a ROS2 application for end-user debugging.
2. WebSocket or REST-Based Bridge to Core RMF Topics: Similar to rmf_web, this approach involves directing the Site Editor to a specified server URI, enabling the real-time streaming of robot positions over the network.
