Flutter Dashboard Monitors Jetson CPU, GPU, Temp, and Power

Build a lightweight telemetry service to stream Jetson hardware metrics to a custom Flutter dashboard for real-time robot observability.

●Builder Action:Developers can now integrate real-time hardware monitoring directly into their robotic applications. This involves setting up a ROS 2 node on the Jetson to collect metrics and exposing them via topics. For Flutter integration, consider using rosbridge_server for WebSocket communication or an MQTT broker for a more decoupled approach to stream data to your dashboard.
