Autonomous mobile robots are showing up everywhere — in warehouses, hospitals, airports, sidewalks. The robots themselves have gotten remarkably capable, but the way we operate fleets hasn't kept up: every vendor ships its own proprietary dashboard, every mixed fleet means disconnected views, and switching platforms means starting from scratch.

This is a familiar pattern in technology, and it's one open source has solved before. Linux gave servers a common foundation. ROS gave robot developers a shared framework. Robot operations deserves the same.

Today, we're thrilled to announce OpenRobOps 1.0 — the first stable release of an open-source, vendor-agnostic platform for robot fleet management and operations. Fully self-hostable, Apache 2.0 licensed, and ready for production fleets.

Autonomous mobile robots are showing up everywhere — in warehouses, hospitals, airports, sidewalks. The number of deployed robots is growing fast, and so is the complexity of keeping them running. But while the robots themselves have gotten remarkably capable, the way we operate fleets hasn't kept up.

Today, every robot vendor ships its own proprietary operations dashboard. If you run robots from two manufacturers, you get two disconnected views. If you want to customize how you monitor your fleet, you're limited to what the vendor exposes. And if you ever want to switch platforms, you're starting from scratch.

This is a familiar pattern in technology — and one that open source has solved before. Linux gave servers a common foundation. ROS gave robot developers a shared framework. Robot operations deserves the same.

So we're building it. Today we're announcing OpenRobOps, a new open-source project for robot fleet management and operations — and we're building it in the open, from day one.
