RCAN v2.1 shipped today. It's a robot protocol that now handles firmware attestation, supply chain transparency, multi-robot fleet authorization, and EU AI Act compliance. Here's the full story — what it does, why it exists, and what scenarios it actually solves.
OpenCastor's new contribute feature turns idle robot compute into a distributed science network. How the open-source runtime layer between robots and AI makes this possible, what RCAN is, and why a robot registry matters.
Why we're structuring OpenCastor as a B Corp, how Castor Credits turn idle robot compute into real value, and why the RCAN protocol and Robot Registry need to be owned by foundations — not us.
Today we shipped RCAN v1.5 — addressing 18 security and safety gaps identified in a comprehensive protocol audit. Replay attack prevention, robot identity revocation, training data consent (EU AI Act), delegation chains, and more.
Three projects. One complete open stack for robot identity, accountability, and registration. Here's what shipped and why it matters.
Today we release OpenCastor v2026.2.19.0 — an open-source framework that connects any AI model to any robot hardware through a single YAML config. 7 providers, tiered brain architecture, Hailo-8 NPU vision, and a $0 starting cost.
Geoffrey Huntley's Ralph Wiggum technique for every platform. macOS, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and cloud servers. 10+ AI agents for autonomous coding.
A deep dive into the RCAN open source project, its Astro-based architecture, and how you can contribute to the future of robot communication.
