What is Bringup?
Bringup is the operating layer for robotics development. It's one platform for the entire robotics lifecycle: data, secure access, CI, and fleet operations.
You use it as a desktop app, available for macOS and Linux. On first launch, the app installs bringupd, a privileged local daemon — this is why your operating system prompts for an administrator password during setup. The desktop app talks to this local bringupd daemon on your machine, and to the bringupd edge agent running on each of your devices.
Bringup is built offline-first, for where robots actually live: factories, fields, and air-gapped sites. Communication is outbound-only, so you never need to open inbound ports on a robot for Bringup to reach it.
Capability arrives through extensions. Ten are documented today: Fleet Manager, Organization Manager, Shell Access, File Browser, Telemetry, Visualizer, Zenoh Bridge, Image Deploy, Yocto Builder, and Bag Master — the extension for post-processing ROS bags, managing datasets, and running data pipelines. See Extensions for the full list.
