What is Gobot?
Gobot is an open source robotics and Internet of Things (IoT) framework written in the Go programming language. It allows you to control connected devices like robots, drones, toys and more using idiomatic Go language constructs.
Some key features of Gobot include:
- Cross-platform support for various hardware like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Intel Edison and more
- Built-in support for over 140 platforms and protocols
- Easy to use API for writing robotics and IoT applications
- Concurrent and event-driven architecture for controlling multiple devices
- Modular design with adaptors for extensibility
- Wide range of examples to get started with various hardware platforms
By leveraging Go's native concurrency features, Gobot makes it simple to control connected devices like sensors, motors, lights without worrying about threads or locking. The idiomatic Go API abstracts away the hardware specifics, allowing you to focus on writing the application logic.
Gobot has a vibrant open source community contributing drivers for new platforms regularly. It can be used to build anything from simple home automation systems to advanced robotics projects using Lego Mindstorms or drones.
