Open source is the key to unlocking the full potential of robotics. Through shared knowledge, open data, and collaborative innovation, RoboDrive is shaping the future of embodied AI. By fostering global collaboration among developers, researchers, startups, and resource providers, we are building a sustainable foundation for the development of intelligent systems that can improve millions of lives.
RoboDrive makes robotics development accessible to all, driving a future where embodied AI is affordable, adaptable, and sustainable.
In today's rapidly advancing technological landscape, embodied AI is set to transform industries and daily life. Yet, despite growing interest in robotics, significant barriers remain. Robotics development is hindered by proprietary data, high hardware costs, and limited access to resources, making it difficult for startups and individual developers to enter the field, stifling innovation and delaying the widespread deployment of robotics systems into everyday life.
RoboDrive is an open-source platform dedicated to breaking these barriers. Our mission is to empower developers and startups worldwide by providing an open-source collaborative ecosystem for robotics development, where global innovators come together to develop cutting-edge, data-driven solutions—from hardware design, data collection, AI model training to production.
The current robotics landscape is dominated by proprietary solutions from large companies, limiting the reach and accessibility of embodied AI technologies. Meanwhile, open-source initiatives often lack the resources, data, and incentives needed to scale and become applicable in real life. However, thanks to our innovative technology of IMO, which tokenizes AI models on chain, RoboDrive is able to address these challenges by providing a platform that fosters collaboration among individuals, researchers, startups, and industry partners, ensuring that each party gets rewarded correspondingly.
Through collaborative efforts, we design robotics technologies to meet diverse needs—from healthcare and home automation to industrial robotics and beyond. At RoboDrive, we’re not just advancing autonomy—we’re shaping the future of intelligent systems that enhance lives, making embodied AI more affordable, accessible, and sustainable.
RoboDrive is backed by a collaboration of pioneers from academia, industry, and blockchain innovation. Together, they bring the experience, knowledge, and infrastructure needed to make open-source autonomous driving a reality:
