Copper is a deterministic robotics runtime written in Rust. Think of it as a "game engine for robots": describe your system declaratively, compile the schedule, and run deterministically from cloud simulation down to embedded controllers.
Why Copper
- ⚡ Sub-microsecond latency with a zero-alloc, data-oriented runtime.
- ⏱️ Deterministic replay for debugging and certification.
- 🧠 Interoperable with ROS 2 via bridges.
- 🪶 Runs anywhere from x86 servers to bare metal.
