RosClaw lets you control any ROS2 robot from WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or Slack using plain English, powered by AI agents that understand what you want and what the robot can do. 

The Problem: ROS2 is the industry standard for robotics, but operating it requires deep expertise. Operators need weeks of training, remote access requires VPNs and custom dashboards, and non-technical stakeholders are locked out entirely.

The Solution: RosClaw connects OpenClaw (a self-hosted AI gateway for messaging apps) to ROS2. Send a message in plain language, the AI maps it to ROS2 operations, and the robot acts — streaming feedback back to chat.

Key capabilities:
- Typed tools with parameter schemas, not guessed commands
- Auto-discovery of what this specific robot can do
- Safety hooks: velocity limits, workspace boundaries, /estop
- Structured skill playbooks for Nav2, MoveIt2, diagnostics
- Persistent memory across conversations
- Multi-channel, multi-robot fleet management
