# Control Center

The Control Center is a WebGUI feature designed to monitor and manage the robot’s current state and configuration. It consists of two primary components:

- **Robot Panel**, which provides an overview of the robot’s status and serves as an entry point to the Control Center.
- **Control Center**, which allows for a detailed view of the robot’s state and enables configuration modifications.

Hover the info icon (ⓘ) in the **Robot Info Header** to see the robot’s PAL software identifier. The value is shown as:

```text

```

For example: ```alum devel```, ```alum 25.01```, or ```alum 26.03```.

Pin/Unpin button to keep the panel visible on the screen or hide it.

### Plugin buttons with state indicators

This section consists of different plugins available on the robot (which may vary from robot to robot), each offering a summary of its status. For example, the Modules plugin button displays the number of modules in different states: running, waiting, finished, crashed, etc.

Clicking on the plugin button opens the Control Center, providing a detailed view and options for that selected plugin.

### Robot with pressed emergency stop

When the robot has its emergency button pressed, a red icon appears next to the robot avatar.
