RobotChat is AI pair programming in your terminal for robots running Intel RealSense cameras and ROS2.

RobotChat (based on Aider) lets you pair program with LLMs, to write and edit code in your local git repository. Start a new project or work with an existing git repo. RobotChat works best with GPT-4o & Claude 3.5 Sonnet and can connect to almost any LLM.

Getting started

You can get started quickly like this:

$ pip install robot-chat

# Change directory into a git repo
cd /to/your/git/repo
