Control panel / command center for the teleoperator

Proposed by @yanziz-nvidia

Background

• After testing the G1 robot and doing the demo run-through, we identified the need for a server-side control hub to manage running processes, accessible from a headset, phone, tablet, or computer.
• A NVIDIA internal implementaiton: [TBD add screenshot]

Goal

• Provide a control center UI that lets a teleoperator manage/monitor server-side
• processes and tune parameters at runtime. It should be application-agnostic —
• the controlled app should be swappable (e.g. IL, Isaac OS, etc.).

Requirements

• Manage multiple server-side processes from a single UI
• Tune parameters at runtime
• Accessible across devices: in-headset, on phone, on laptop
• Served locally
• Swappable underlying application
• Ship as part of the OSS offering so users can fork and customize with their own features

Technical approach

• Server side: extend wss.py to add the control-panel backend (no need to rebuild from the ground up).
• Client side: a separate UI for now; can be improved later or merged into the server-side UI.
• Consider expanding the existing Isaac teleop client rather than starting fresh.
• A working version is reportedly testable on Orin. An existing mock (Claude-designed) exists but needs real polish — design quality needs to improve.

Open questions

• Keep the client UI separate, or merge it into the server-side UI?
• Extend the Isaac teleop client, or build a dedicated panel?
• Include a teleop camera view? (Many teleop portals from other companies include one.)
• Primary runtime target — on the robot, on the VM running IL, or both?
