Tafy Studio

A Robot Distributed Operation System (RDOS) that makes robotics accessible to everyone.

What is Tafy Studio?

Tafy Studio is a comprehensive framework for building and operating robots. Unlike traditional approaches that treat robots as single computers with peripherals, Tafy Studio embraces the distributed nature of modern robotics—where multiple compute nodes work together as a cohesive system.

Note: We intentionally use "operation system" rather than "operating system." Tafy Studio orchestrates robot operations across distributed nodes; it is not an OS in the traditional sense.

Project Status

🚧 Early Development - We're building the foundation for the 30-minute quick start experience.

Current Progress

• ✅ Monorepo structure with Turborepo
• ✅ Hub UI (Next.js) - Basic structure
• ✅ Hub API (FastAPI) - Core endpoints
• ✅ Node Agent (Go) - Device discovery
• ✅ CI/CD Pipeline - Multi-arch builds
• 🚧 HAL implementation - In progress
• 🚧 ESP32 firmware - Coming soon
• 🚧 Node-RED integration - Coming soon

Key Features

• 30-Minute Quick Start: From installation to moving robot in under 30 minutes
• Plug-and-Play Hardware: Automatic discovery and configuration of devices
• Visual Programming: Build complex behaviors without writing code
• Distributed Architecture: Seamlessly scale from one to many compute nodes
• Local-First Design: Full functionality without internet connectivity
