🔬 Design Philosophy

  • Human-in-the-loop: Direct operator control for complex tasks
  • Real-time responsiveness: Low-latency command execution
  • Rich feedback: Audio, video, and haptic data streaming
  • Safety-critical: Human oversight for mission-critical operations
  • Gradual automation: Autonomous capabilities can be selectively enabled
  • Flexible control: Command & Control layer routes inputs based on mode
  • AI assistance: Intelligence providers augment human decision-making
  • Seamless switching: Dynamic transition between teleoperation and autonomy
  • Link never blocks: Core robot control remains responsive regardless of external systems
  • Nucleus can crash safely: Gateway failures don’t affect critical robot functions
  • Layered redundancy: Multiple failure points without total system compromise
  • Cortex as Primary Firmware: Houses all critical control for custom robot development
  • Link as Secondary Firmware: Handles time-critical control for third-party robots
  • Direct hardware access: Minimal latency for safety-critical operations
  • Deterministic behavior: Predictable response times for control systems
  • ClickHouse: Efficient storage for massive time-series robot data
  • Prometheus/Grafana: Real-time monitoring and alerting
  • Multi-protocol gateway: Supports diverse communication needs (WebRTC, gRPC, HTTP)
  • Comprehensive logging: All audio, video, and robot state data captured
  • Performance analysis: Historical replay for training and optimization
  • Continuous improvement: Data analytics drive system enhancements
  • Distributed architecture: Clear separation between robot and cloud processing
