"Android for Physical AI"
Austin, TX company providing a Rust-native open-source robotics OS (cu29) for building deterministic, production-ready autonomous machines and robot software.
Copper Robotics Inc. is a software and consulting company headquartered in Austin, Texas, USA, focused on the robotics software infrastructure layer. The company's primary product is Copper (also referred to as cu29), a Rust-native, open-source runtime and SDK for building production-grade robot software with deterministic replay, low latency, and real-time safety guarantees.
The Copper framework is hosted as an open-source project on GitHub under the copper-project organization. It provides a complete software architecture for robotic systems, including a task graph scheduler, message passing between nodes, structured logging, and hardware abstraction. The framework's Rust foundation enables memory-safe, high-performance code suited for safety-critical autonomous machines.
Copper Robotics was founded by Guillaume Binet, who leads the company as its primary technical architect. The company markets itself as providing the foundational operating system layer that physical AI applications require, analogous to how Android operates as a platform for mobile software.
Beyond the open-source framework, Copper Robotics provides commercial consulting services including system design, integration, and migration assistance for robotics teams transitioning away from legacy middleware frameworks such as ROS. The company also offers training programs to help engineering teams adopt the Copper platform and scale prototype robots into market-ready products.
Copper Robotics is positioned in the robotics software infrastructure market, targeting autonomous machine developers who need a modern, high-performance alternative to existing frameworks. The company exhibited at the Automate show and maintains an active YouTube channel and GitHub repository for the open-source cu29 project.
