BotBot - The open-source brain for any legged robot

by•
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.

Hey everyone, We're so excited to finally share what we've been building. I've spent countless hours just trying to get the basic pieces of a robot to work together, the hardware, the ROS2 stack, the navigation, the user interface. It felt like we were always reinventing the wheel instead of focusing on the cool, high-level stuff. That's why we built BotBrain. It's the open-source, integrated brain we always wanted for our own projects. It's a complete platform that combines: •A full ROS2 Humble navigation stack (Nav2 + RTABMap for SLAM) •A powerful web UI for teleoperation, mission planning, and even a drag-and-drop custom dashboard builder. •Open-source, 3D-printable hardware designed around the NVIDIA Jetson and RealSense cameras. We've designed it to be modular and extensible, so you can use it on quadrupeds like the Unitree Go2, humanoids like the G1, or even your own custom ROS2 robot. Our goal is to give startups, developers and researchers a massive head start, so you can go from unboxing a robot to running autonomous missions in 30 mins, not weeks. BotBrain is completely free and MIT licensed. We're launching today because we want to build this in the open with the community. We'd love to hear your feedback, answer any questions, and see what you build with it. Thanks for checking us out!
