OLO is a web-based platform that gives developers, researchers, and academics everything they need to program robots — without the setup hell. Get ROS2 access, robot visualization, simulation and AI-assisted coding all in your browser. Go from idea to working robot in 30 minutes, not two weeks. No Linux installs. No config rabbit holes. Just you, your robot, and a JavaScript or Python SDK playground ready from day one. Now open for sign-ups.

Getting ROS2 into a browser runtime without native setup is the real engineering challenge. Most robotics stacks assume a local Linux environment and the dependency graph alone can take hours to untangle. We've hit similar friction building persistent background service connections. How do you handle session state for robot connections? Does each browser session get a dedicated ROS2 node or is there a shared multiplexing layer?

@retain_dev We run the full ROS 2 stack on the robot - Nav2, drivers, and the usual dependency footprint all live in our pre configured appliance, which maintains an authenticated low latency link to the platform. That lets you run full-stack robotics from a web session without installing a Linux robotics environment on every machine. Several sessions per robot share one appliance-side connection; the service distributes telemetry and state to connected clients and routes request/response traffic to the initiating session when required. Bottom line: ROS and time-sensitive compute stay on the robot, control and collaboration stay in the browser, and authentication, routing, and policy are enforced in the cloud.
