RoboOS

BAAI's open-source cross-embodiment, multi-robot coordination framework built on a cloud brain, local cerebellum design.

RoboOS is an embodied-AI system framework open-sourced in 2025 by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI). Despite the name “OS,” it isn't a low-level operating system like Linux — it's a coordination layer that runs on top of robots. It uses a brain–cerebellum split: a cloud-based “brain,” built on the embodied foundation model RoboBrain, understands instructions, breaks tasks into steps, and assigns them to different robots; each robot's local “cerebellum” calls skills such as grasping or navigation to execute its part; a shared memory in between keeps scene and state information synchronized across robots. The goal is to let robots of different form factors connect to the same brain and cooperate on a task. RoboOS 2.0 reportedly followed later the same year, adding a skill marketplace and support for the MCP protocol.

ExampleA user says “hand me the water on the table”: RoboOS's brain splits the task into navigation and grasping, and assigns the two steps to a wheeled base and a dual-arm robot respectively.
