The robotics framework for simplified robot development.
Peppy is a robotics framework that takes you from development to production at scale, letting you focus on building intelligent robots while we handle the complexity.
Build and deploy robot software with ease. Peppy streamlines your entire robot stack including sensors, actuators, AI, and controllers to make robotics development accessible even if you've never worked with robots before.

}Output nodes · your robot stack
Why robotics teams choose Peppy
Node-Based Robot Architecture
Every sensor, actuator, controller and model is its own node, so each piece can be reasoned about, replaced and tested on its own.
From Prototype to Production
The same stack that runs in simulation runs on hardware, so moving from a bench experiment to a deployed robot is a config change.
Multi-Language Support
Write nodes in Python when you want to move fast and in Rust when you need the performance, and mix both in one stack.
Built for Performance
Message passing between nodes is designed for the rates real control loops need, not just for demos.
