Overview
An autonomous operating system for robots. Connect hardware, calibrate once, and control the robot in plain English — AETHER discovers actuators, builds a portable Robot Genome, translates objectives into hardware actions via an LLM planner, and runs a PPO fault-detection network concurrently.
$ pip install aether-roboticsAETHER turns an arbitrary GPIO / HAT / MAVLink robot into a natural-language-controllable system in three steps.
1 · Discover
A calibration walk pulses each safe GPIO pin; you label what moved, producing a physical_map keyed by BCM pin. Known HAT boards are auto-detected.
2 · Describe
The map is distilled into a versioned Robot Genome (configs/robot.json): locomotion class, actuators, sensors, and a deterministic capability set.
3 · Drive
The LLM planner resolves plain-English objectives against the genome and dispatches the right tool, while a PPO fault detector runs concurrently.
Everything runs locally on a Raspberry Pi; the only network dependency is the Anthropic API, used for the planner and vision.
