v0.9 Salvaged Android nodes now in preview
Turn retired phones into self-operating robots.
openrobot turns user-owned Android phones and tablets into local autonomous devices: voice, camera, sensors, cron-style routines, agent loops, and hardware bridges without a SaaS leash.

01 / Platform
The phone is the autonomous device.
A retired Android already has cameras, microphones, speakers, IMU, GPS, battery, screen, radios, and enough compute for useful local agents. openrobot gives it a runtime for sensing, speaking, watching, scheduling, and acting.

02 / Salvage
Built for the phones already in the drawer.
Start with idle Android hardware. Add robots, relays, and microcontrollers later when a loop needs wheels, arms, lights, locks, or sensors beyond the phone.
03 / Skills
Install skills for rooms, routines, and agents.
The openrobot registry hosts reusable, sandboxed skills for voice, vision, reminders, inspection, household routines, robot bridges, and local agent loops. Versioned modules keep device-specific code isolated from the workflows people actually run.

05 / Architecture
Built like infrastructure, shaped like an app.
Your nodes do not need a hosted account. The runtime lives on your network and syncs only what you choose.
< 14ms local loopSkills are sandboxed modules. Stack wake words, camera events, cron triggers, agent plans, and robot actions.
phone-native modulesEvery sensor event, voice turn, model decision, loop, and external command is logged and replayable.

Open source at the core. No SaaS leash required.
Run the full stack locally for free. Add hosted relay, registry controls, and team audit trails only when a fleet moves beyond one home, lab, or shop.
