We’ve open-sourced the Robot MCP Server, a tool that lets large language models (LLMs) talk directly to robots running ROS1 or ROS2.
What it does - Connects any LLM to existing ROS robots via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) - Natural language → ROS topics, services, and actions (And the ability to read any of them back) - Works without changing robot source code
Why it matters - Makes robots accessible from natural language interfaces - Opens the door to rapid prototyping of AI-robot applications - We are trying to create a common interface for safe AI ↔ robot communication
This is too big to develop alone — we’d love feedback, contributors, and partners from both the robotics and AI communities.
