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.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/bear-robotics: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

- name: Bear Base API
  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.
