A config type is a named grouping of config schemas and their config instances.
Every config instance and config schema belongs to exactly one config type. Config types gives the configurations in your fleet records a stable, human-readable identity (Mobility, Perception) that survives across the schemas and instances that come and go beneath it.
For example, a Mobility config type houses configs related to the robot’s motion while a Perception config type houses configs related to the robot’s perception. Each config type has its own versioned schema, which its config instances must adhere to depending on the release they are deployed under.

A human-readable display name that can contain most characters, such as spaces, special characters, and punctuation. Must contain between 1 and 48 characters.Examples: Mobility, Safety Features, Perception
A unique, code-friendly identifier for a config type.Slugs are immutable and must satisfy the following constraints:
- Contain only lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens (
-)
- Start and end with a lowercase letter or digit
- Contain between 1 and 48 characters
Slugs are primarily used in code to reference config types in a human-readable format. For instance, config schemas are annotated with a config type slug to associate them with their proper config type.Examples: mobility, safety-features, perception View a config type
To view your workspace’s config types, navigate to the Config Types page.
Create a config type
Navigate to the Config Types page and click New Config Type in the top right corner.
Fill in the fields, then click Create.
Config type slugs are immutable and cannot be modified after creation.
Edit a config type
Navigate to the Config Types page, click the ellipses (…) on the config type you want to edit, and hit Edit.
Update the desired fields, then click Save.
Delete a config type
Deleting a config type is irreversible. Once a config type is deleted, it cannot be recovered.
Deleting a config type is only possible if there are no config instances for that config type. As such, most config types cannot be deleted. If no config instances exist for the config type, deleting a config type removes all associated schemas.
To delete a config type, click the ellipses of the config type you want to delete and select Delete.
A confirmation dialog will appear. Hit Delete to confirm the deletion.
