Bracket Bot

Open-source robotics kit for AI

Website

Overview

Bracket Bot develops and sells an open-source robotics kit and a multi-robot control system that lets users build and manage a small fleet of mobile robots. The hardware kit is under $400, ships ready-to-assemble with a Raspberry Pi 5, ODrive controller, and a common 20V battery, designed for solder-free assembly. The software stack is Python-based and exposes a unified API through the BracketBot Multi-Robot Control MCP Server, so AI agents can control movement, sound, and vision across multiple robots. Its goal is to democratize robotics by lowering costs and technical barriers and fostering a community around open hardware, software, and AI-driven robotics.

What believers are saying
