SDK overview

When to reach for Cyberwave SDKs and how to start experimenting.

The Cyberwave SDKs are the primary way to build Edge Agents—the software that runs on your robot and connects it to the platform. They wrap our low-level APIs with ergonomic, language-specific abstractions.

Supported Languages

  • Python SDK (cyberwave-python):

    • Best for: Prototyping, ML/AI integration, and general-purpose robotics.
    • Features: Includes a high-level Twin API, local development helpers, and integration with popular libraries like numpy and opencv.
    • Structure: Combines auto-generated REST clients with hand-crafted MQTT and utility layers.
  • C++ SDK (cyberwave-cpp):

    • Best for: Production deployment, resource-constrained devices, and ROS2 integration.
    • Features: High-performance async I/O, strict typing, and a dedicated ROS2 Bridge for seamless mapping of ROS topics to Cyberwave assets.

Core Capabilities

  • Authentication: Secure, token-based handshake with the platform.
  • Telemetry Loop: Automatic background buffering and publishing of device state (JSON/Binary).
  • Command Handling: Callbacks for handling incoming mission instructions from the cloud.
  • Video Streaming: Utilities to capture frames (e.g., from cv2) and stream them via WebRTC.

Quickstart

from cyberwave import Cyberwave

# Initialize the client
cw = Cyberwave(token="your_api_token")

# Connect to a Twin
robot = cw.twin("my-robot-id")

# Publish Telemetry
robot.publish_state({"battery": 98, "status": "idle"})
