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 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Carti API, Fleet Management API, Localization & Navigation API, and 6 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 and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Bear Robotics’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, authentication, changelog, and 24 more developer resources.
Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buf Schema Registry (public Protocol Buffers modules, gRPC / ConnectRPC schema publishers) | standard | 17.2 (thin) | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 2
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
