Hey everyone, My team and I have been working hard on this project: https://peppy.bot It's a direct replacement for ROS 2. We already have the OpenArm robot (https://openarm.dev) w…

A better software stack for robotics, to replace ROS 2: https://peppy.bot/

A framework to make robotics accessible and easy for everyone (ML engineers/firmware engineers/vibe coder/people with no technical knowledge) where all the stacks have clear separa…

Why do you assume the code will be bad in the first place? Coding as someone without experience in coding? Most probably yes, but from someone with some kind of expertise who can a…

how so? When you buy a phone, do you care about how it's built?

True... I'm in the first crowd personally

Genuine question. Over the past six months, there hasn’t been a single day where I’ve checked the HN Best RSS feed without seeing a post about how AI “writes bad code,” “introduces…

https://peppy.bot a robotics framework to replace ROS 2, currently working on automatic nodes resolution so pulling a working software for your robot is as easy as doing an `apt ge…

Hey, too bad you've shut down, looked like a great project. > I notice you don't have shared memory transport, nor do you support runtime composability (I think?) We're using Zenoh…

> The website claims “30hz polling rate”, “2ms latency”. Not sure if that is a best case or just for that demo. This is just example cases but in fact it can go as high as you want…

BSL will just prevent people from creating a competing SaaS product on top of PeppyOS, nothing will prevent anyone from using it for free commercially

Feedback noted, thanks! > Does this have any compelling selling points to convince someone to switch other than 'less overhead than ROS 2'? At the moment it's pretty raw, but we'll…

Our goal is to make all of this super easy with the installation of a single script. We're also working on a SaaS in parallel which will allow you to fire up the whole stack in you…

Very interesting. There is nothing that would prevent PeppyOS nodes from running on the GPU. The messaging tech behind PeppyOS is Zenoh (it's swappable), it can run on embedded sys…

Fun fact, we've been using pixi to compile everything Python related internally. In fact PeppyOS was even started with pixi as a base layer (but we pivoted away from it since the p…

Hey, good points, we have plans to create a ROS2 bridge in the near future. We definitely won't be able to catch up with huge ecosystem that ROS2 has created over the years but we …

A little, less-known hack is to be hired as a freelancer/contractor, from there you just prove your worth and ask for a long time position. It allows you to bypass the multi-round …

French Polynesia, not in the list tho
