What is hyveOS?

hyveOS is an end-to-end decentralization engine that allows for multi-device orchestration without external infrastructure.

It unifies mesh networking with a higher-level P2P networking stack, cutting both the need for connectivity infrastructure, like WiFi-Routers or mobile plans, and the need for orchestration servers, like dedicated MQTT brokers or remote ROS endpoints.

It aims to abstract away all networking issues that previously were hard to tackle when trying to set up and run applications involving multiple machines or robots and serves as a drop-in solution for MANET (mobile ad-hoc network) application, with the additional feature of not needing a central coordination endpoint.

hyveOS comes with a set of high-level data-transfer services, like request-response, pub-sub, key-value store, which are all fully decentralized under-the-hood and are exposed via multi-language SDKs and a dedicated CLI.

Moreover, hyveOS has a ROS2 integration in form of a plugin, which exposes its data transfer services as ROS2 topics.

Quickstart Try out deploying a simple peer-to-peer messaging application with hyveOS.

Use Cases

hyveOS is built for multi robot applications, where the respective robots are locally “near” (currently tens of meters) to each other. It is perfectly suitable for heterogeneous systems, possibly with different hardware, by abstracting all the way up to common software abstractions.
