Cerulion

About Cerulion

Cerulion (YC S24) gives AI agents a harness to control real robots. Our open-source runtime and harness give any AI agent a physical body, inside safety limits the robot enforces, and tools to autonomously debug recorded robot failures. It's ROS 2 compatible. - cerulion-inc/cerulion

Hey HN! I'm Lakshay. Raveen and I have built Cerulion, a ROS2-compatible robotics runtime written in Rust. We've worked hard on lowering IPC transport latencies without making the single process tradeoff or forcing POD message types. These fast multi-process graphs can then be resimmed deterministically, and existing ROS2 nodes/launch files can run unmodified alongside native Cerulion Rust/Python code. Installation and quickstart (with a one-shot prompt for your favorite coding agent) here at the repo README: https://github.com/cerulion-inc/cerulionI worked on off-road autonomy during my PhD at MIT, and we kept running into inter-process latency in ROS (2 lidars and 6 cameras).
