BotBot

What it does

BotBrain is a modular software and hardware platform that lets you control, map, and run autonomous missions on any legged or wheeled ROS2 robot. It combines a full ROS2 navigation stack, a web-based UI for control and fleet management, and 3D-printable hardware into a single, easy-to-deploy system. Built for developers, researchers, and operators who want to build on a solid foundation instead of starting from scratch.

BotBot's BotBrain delivers universal edge AI, autonomous navigation, and legged robotics autonomy for any ROS2 robot. One intelligent core powering logistics, healthcare, education, and industrial automation.

One intelligent brain powering any ROS2 robot with edge AI, autonomous navigation, and seamless connectivity. Universal compatibility with any ROS2 robot. Edge AI processing for real-time autonomous decision-making. Always connected with seamless fleet management and teleoperation. BotBot robots deliver value across industry, logistics, agriculture, security, healthcare, and education. Customize your robot with interchangeable payloads for any mission — from inspection cameras to environmental sensors. Customers choose the hardware. BotBrain runs it. Their application is built on top — with open source, the BotBrain Pro SDK, or co-developed with us. Leading quadruped, wheeled and humanoid…from botbot.bot

  Sowbot – Open-hardware agricultural robot (ROS2, RTK GPS)Feb 2026 · sowbot.co.uk · ▲181

  Sowbot is an open-hardware agricultural robot designed to close the "prototype gap" that kills most agri-robotics startups and research projects — the 18+ months spent on drivers, networking, safety watchdogs, and UI before you can even start on the thing you actually care about. The hardware is built around a stackable 10×10cm compute module with two ARM Cortex-A55 SBCs — one for ROS 2 navigation/EKF localisation, one dedicated to vision/YOLO inference — connected via a single ethernet cable. Centimetre-level positioning via dual RTK GNSS, CAN bus for field comms, and real-time…

  Dobb·E – towards home robots with an open-source platform2023 · dobb-e.com · ▲394

  Hi HN! Proud to share our open-source robot platform, Dobb·E, a home robot system that needs just 5 minutes of human teaching to learn new tasks. We've already taken Dobb·E to 10 different homes in New York, taught it 100+ tasks, and we are just getting started! I would love to hear your thoughts about this. Here are some more details, below (or see a Twitter thread with attached media: https://twitter.com/i/status/1729515379892826211 or https://nitter.net/i/status/1729515379892826211): We engineered Dobb·E to maximize efficiency, safety, and…

  Talanoa▲343

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986▲721

  Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
