Copper is a deterministic robotics runtime written in Rust, designed for building autonomous robots of all kinds—AMRs, drones, and even self-driving platforms.

By acting as a “game engine for robots,” Copper provides developers with orders-of-magnitude improvements in latency and logging speed, directly lowering the bill of materials (BOM) cost for robotic systems. Its runtime and replay determinism enable precise reproducibility, critical for safety-critical domains and certification processes. Conceptually, Copper behaves like a compiler: applications are described declaratively, scheduled at compile-time, and executed deterministically. This architecture makes Copper naturally portable across environments—from cloud simulation down to embedded controllers. For professionals and organizations seeking efficient, certifiable, and production-ready robotics infrastructure, Copper offers a modern open-source foundation that blends performance, safety, and developer productivity.
