Bear Robotics

Bear Robotics builds AI-driven autonomous mobile robots for hospitality and service environments — the Servi family (Servi, Servi Plus, Servi Q, Servi Clean) for restaurants, senior living, hotels and hospitals, the Carti cargo line for warehouses and factories, and Kinisi — all managed through the Bear Universe cloud fleet platform. Founded in 2017 by former Google engineer John Ha, headquartered in Redwood City, California, and now majority-owned by LG Electronics. Bear publishes a genuinely open, gRPC-first third-party developer surface: the Bear Cloud API (39 RPCs, 27 unary and 12 server-streaming) for creating missions, streaming robot state and managing fleets, plus an on-robot Bear Base API for direct local control. The Protobuf definitions are published under MPL-2.0 in a public GitHub organization, an OpenAPI 3.0.3 document covers the transcoded REST projection, and v1.3 added outbound webhooks. API keys are issued through an account manager rather than self-serve signup.

Bear Robotics publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Carti API, Fleet Management API, Localization & Navigation API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Robotics, Autonomous Mobile Robots, Fleet Management, Hospitality, and Food Service.

The Bear Robotics catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Bear Robotics’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, authentication, changelog, and 23 more developer resources.

  description: The on-robot gRPC service for direct local control of a Bear robot, used where the cloud is not in the path.
    23 RPCs covering drive/twist commands, odometry, battery and robot status, missions, settings and errors. It runs on the
    robot's own PC and is reached over the robot's ethernet port on the local network, so it has no public internet endpoint;
    the documented example channel is insecure (no TLS), which is appropriate only on a trusted local link. No OpenAPI is
    published — Protobuf is the only machine-readable contract.
  humanURL: https://base.api.bearrobotics.ai/
  baseURL: http://10.10.127.2:5123
  x-baseurl-note: This is a private, on-robot address documented by Bear as the robot PC's static ethernet IP and gRPC port,
    not a placeholder and not an internet-reachable host. Recorded verbatim from https://base.api.bearrobotics.ai/guides/setup/setup_network/
    rather than substituted for a public host that does not exist.
