Do I need to open ports on my router?
No. The robot connects out to OpenVibe, and video and controls travel over WebRTC, so it works behind ordinary home and mobile networks.
OpenVibe.Bot live
Get your robot online in minutes.
OpenVibe.Bot is an open control panel for robots. Add a robot, pair it with one command or a QR code, and drive it from any browser with live video, real controls and a stop button that always works. Buy a ready-made bot or bring your own: a Raspberry Pi robot, an ESP32, a ROS 2 robot, a phone, or a Cozmo. Share control, automate it, hand it to your AI agent, and stream it to OpenVibe.Live or openre.stream when you want to.

Questions
7 questions this site answers about itself. Each one has its own page, so it can be linked and found on its own.
Is it only for streaming?
No. Streaming is optional. Bot is a control panel for your robot first: drive it, check on it, share it and automate it.
Which robot comes first?
The Adeept 4WD Smart Car Kit for Raspberry Pi: four motors, a pan-tilt camera, distance and line sensors, lights and a buzzer. OpenVibe's device agent drives it directly, so its own open control port never has to be exposed.
Does it work with Cozmo?
Yes, built in. Cozmo makes its own Wi-Fi and runs closed firmware, so the OpenVibe agent runs on a computer next to it (a Raspberry Pi or a laptop) that joins Cozmo's Wi-Fi and stays online through another connection. You get driving, the head and lift, its camera, its face display, its voice, lights and cubes, and it stops at edges on its own. No phone app needed.
What hardware works?
A Raspberry Pi or another Linux board, an ESP32, a ROS 2 robot, an Android phone, or an ONVIF or RTSP camera. The curated kits list exactly what to buy.
How does it keep the robot safe?
The device stops its motors by itself when commands or the connection stop. There is an emergency stop in the panel, limits on speed, range and time, and every command is logged.
What will it cost?
Controlling your own robot will not cost anything. Limits and any paid extras will be published before launch.
