Stream, teleop, and talk

Your robot loop so far runs on your machine. LiveKit is how you get video and control off it — over the network, to a browser, or into a voice interface — without hand-rolling the streaming layer yourself.

What LiveKit gives you

LiveKit ships SDKs that stream video and data from any device over a low-latency connection. That's what makes two things possible: teleoperating your arm from somewhere other than the machine it's wired to, and remote inference — sending frames to a model running in the cloud instead of on your laptop. LiveKit Agents adds customizable voice AI agents in Python, if you want your robot to take spoken commands.

What hackers build with it

Teleop over the network. Remote inference in the cloud. A voice-control interface on top of your loop. A web or mobile frontend, via SDKs for Portal, Rust, Python, and C++.

A promo code — EmbodiedMetalHackathon — redeems a free Ship-tier trial, no credit card, at LiveKit's redeem page.
