Coarobo GK

Core Robotics. Physical AI. Containerized SDE.

We bring physical AI to real robots, with the tools and the expertise that let researchers and developers observe, operate, and develop them.

Product Lineup

Open Communities

The open-source projects that Coarobo leads with researchers worldwide, the open core of our products.

Coarobo Suite

Coarobo follows an open-core model: our open-source projects form the core, and the whole suite grows around them.

  • Open Core

    OpenRoSDE and OpenRoIS, the open-source projects that Coaroboย leads, form the core of the suite, developed in the open with their communities.

  • Platform

    Coaroboย Drydock, built on OpenRoSDE, and Coaroboย Gateway, built on OpenRoIS, form the platform of the suite.

  • Applications

    Coaroboย Viewport, Coaroboย Sightline, and Coaroboย Heartbeat are the applications of the suite, for physical AI visualization, extended reality teleoperation, and interactive avatars.

  • R&D

    With Coaroboย Launchpad, our engineers work across every layer, adapting and integrating the suite for each project, on site or online.
