One SDK, one API key, any robot — simulated or real hardware.You can connect a simulated robot and read live telemetry in under 5 minutes: pip install fastapi uvicorn roslibpy uvicorn api.main:app --reload curl -X POST localhost:8000/v1/robots/connect -d '{"robot_id":"bot-01","brand":"simulated"}' curl localhost:8000/v1/robots/bot-01/sense It also connects to real ROS2 robots via rosbridge — I tested it today controlling a turtlesim robot drawing circles through the API.The architecture is pluggable — each robot brand is a separate adapter implementing a common interface (like a payment gateway in Stripe).
