Build Fast Today, Ship Safely Tomorrow

Copper is Open Source

Copper -rs is the next generation Physical AI OS

Build, run, and replay your entire autonomous robot deterministically

  • Shape and refine your robot’s architecture clearly before you ever deploy it.

  • Iterate forward by resolving issues from your workstation, not on the robot.

  • Break your robot’s behavior into as many small pieces as you want, without slowing it down.

  • Gain observability into all runtime data across your robots.

  • Build safer systems with a clear path to certification.

Copper PRO

Professional tools and engineering services for production robotics.

Copper Pro provides professional debugging, validation, and safety solutions for robotics, enabling faster development and more reliable deployment.

  • Deterministic replay debugging for robotics.

    Replay autonomous robot executions with full state restoration, inspect internal task state, compare logged and replayed behavior, and quickly isolate difficult timing-dependent bugs. TimeTraveler gives robotics engineers a powerful way to understand failures and accelerate algorithm development.

  • Automated replay validation for autonomy.

    Turn recorded robot runs into deterministic regression tests. Copper Harness executes replay scenarios, evaluates programmable pass/fail criteria, and integrates with CI/CD to continuously validate autonomy behavior across field logs, simulation data, and Operational Design Domain (ODD) scenarios.

  • Safety evidence for certification-ready robotics.

    Reduce certification effort with reusable safety documentation, verification evidence, traceability, and testing artifacts for the Copper framework. Copper Safety helps teams build stronger safety cases while focusing engineering effort on the robot-specific aspects of certification.

The “Small Brain vs. Big Brain” Problem in Autonomous Robotics
The “Small Brain vs. Big Brain” Problem in Autonomous Robotics

If the “small brain” in your robot can fully understand and verify what the “big brain” is doing, why did you build the expensive big brain in the first place?

This is the trap autonomous robotics has been stuck in for a decade…

copper-rs v1.0.0-rc1: the first compatibility contract for Copper
copper-rs v1.0.0-rc1: the first compatibility contract for Copper

Copper is entering a new phase with v1.0.0-rc1.
After two years of rapid iteration, we are starting to make explicit compatibility promises and defining the first stable API surface shaped by real-world use.

This is not about being “done”. It is about freezing the right contracts so teams can build with confidence, while keeping room to evolve toward a deterministic, specifiable, and eventually certifiable robotics runtime.
