Agent ROS Bridge - Universal ROS1/ROS2 bridge for AI agents to control robots and embodied intelligence systems

Agent ROS Bridge

Universal ROS1/ROS2 bridge for AI agents to control robots and embodied intelligence systems.

---

🔐 Security-First Design

JWT authentication is always required and cannot be disabled.

# Generate a secure secret (REQUIRED - no exceptions)
export JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)

The bridge will fail to start without JWT_SECRET. This is by design — security is not optional.

See SECURITY.md for complete security guidelines.

---

Quick Start

Production (Native ROS)

Requirements: Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 with ROS1 Noetic or ROS2 Humble/Jazzy

# Install
pip install agent-ros-bridge

# Set required secret
export JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)

# Start bridge
agent-ros-bridge --config config/bridge.yaml

Docker Examples (Recommended for Testing)

All examples run in isolated Docker containers with simulated robots (no ROS installation needed).

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/webthree549-bot/agent-ros-bridge.git
cd agent-ros-bridge

# Generate JWT secret
export JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)

# Run example in Docker
cd examples/quickstart
docker-compose up

# Test connection
curl http://localhost:8765/health

Available Docker Examples

Example	Description	Run
examples/quickstart/	Basic bridge	docker-compose up
examples/fleet/	Multi-robot fleet	docker-compose up
examples/arm/	Robot arm control	docker-compose up

All examples include:

• Isolated Docker container
• Pre-configured JWT auth
• Simulated robot environment

Usage

Python API

from agent_ros_bridge import Bridge
from agent_ros_bridge.gateway_v2.transports.websocket import WebSocketTransport

# Bridge requires JWT_SECRET env var
bridge = Bridge()
bridge.transport_manager.register(WebSocketTransport({"port": 8765}))
await bridge.start()

CLI

# Set required secret
export JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)

# Start bridge
agent-ros-bridge --config config/bridge.yaml

# Generate token for client
python scripts/generate_token.py --secret $JWT_SECRET --role operator
