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.
