OLO is a web-based platform that gives developers, researchers, and academics everything they need to program robots — without the setup hell. Get ROS2 access, robot visualization, simulation and AI-assisted coding all in your browser. Go from idea to working robot in 30 minutes, not two weeks. No Linux installs. No config rabbit holes. Just you, your robot, and a JavaScript or Python SDK playground ready from day one. Now open for sign-ups.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We built OLO because we feel that the status quo is holding back robotics. Linux setup, ROS2 configuration, dependency hell… Precious development and testing time lost.
We wanted to create tools that allowed anyone, including seasoned roboticists, to go from idea to working robot quicker.
With OLO you open a browser, pick your sim environment and robot and start controlling. Teleoperation, ROS2 topic access, an AI coding assistant, a JavaScript or Python SDK are all included. No plugins required.
If you have a ROS2-enabled robot, just drop our Docker container onto the robot. This bridges the data from your robot to the OLO platform. You will be connected in minutes.
We're particularly keen to hear from:
• Software devs who want to say yes to robotics projects
• Academics and researchers losing weeks to infrastructure
• Robot OEMs who want to eliminate customer setup friction
Sign-ups are open now. We'd love your honest feedback. What would make this indispensable for you?

Getting ROS2 into a browser runtime without native setup is the real engineering challenge. Most robotics stacks assume a local Linux environment and the dependency graph alone can take hours to untangle. We've hit similar friction building persistent background service connections. How do you handle session state for robot connections? Does each browser session get a dedicated ROS2 node or is there a shared multiplexing layer?

Who hunted OLO Robotics?
OLO Robotics was hunted by Simon I'Anson. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
