Visualizing performance of robot connected via SSH in Rviz on master device

To visualize the performance of the robot controlled by internal PC on remote computer you have to change the ROS_MASTER_URI variable, it have to point to other computer.

First you have to set the ROS_IP on both computers

 export ROS_IP=`hostname -I` 

Then you should set ROS_MASTER_URI on the computer with Rviz:

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://youbot:11311

Now when you run Rviz it will visualize the state of the robot connected via SSH.
