Roadmap

The uMe SDK and the Robotics Group App follow the URG uGO+ strategy (Brain, Cloud, Fleet). The Gateway is the first uGO+ building block on uMe.

Phase 1 — Analysis ✅

Platform manual and SDK/API documented. Key decision: the app talks to an on-robot Gateway (WebSocket/JSON) instead of DDS directly.

Phase 2 — MVP — in progress

  • Connect to the robot (Connect via IP ✅; Wi-Fi provisioning & Direct Mode — in progress)
  • Teleoperation / joysticks ✅
  • Live status: battery, mode, warnings ✅
  • Modes DAMP / PREP / WALK with safety patterns ✅
  • Persona & context editor ✅
  • Live camera image in the app (JPEG stream from the robot's camera) ✅
  • Predefined actions incl. gestures and whole-body dances ✅
  • In progress: Bluetooth provisioning and Direct Mode, richer action library, higher-quality video transport (WebRTC/RTSP)

Phase 3 — Added value

  • uGO+ integration: start skills, voice chat via an EU/GDPR-friendly edge LLM (instead of an external cloud voice service)
  • uGO+ Cloud connection and Fleet management (Group Control / multi-robot)
  • Own skill library instead of a fixed action list
  • Teaching flows (maps, positions, zones) informed by the uGo-teach concept

Phase 4 — Release

TestFlight and internal Play track, then App Store and Google Play.

Interface outlook

  • Expose joint states, IMU, and camera through the Gateway
  • Structured error codes over the Gateway (today summarized in the warning field)
  • Optional selected ROS 2 topics via the Gateway

Note

Planned items are subject to change as the app and uGO+ platform evolve.
