Open-source robots for hackers, builders, and dreamers.
It’s a little rebellious. It’s for the people in garages, in dorm rooms, in maker spaces — the ones who aren’t waiting for permission to build the future. Hacky isn’t polished. It’s alive. It invites you to get your hands dirty. That’s how the Macintosh started. That’s how everything starts.
Get Building Fast
Hacky comes fully assembled and ready to roll — with ROS 2 pre-installed, a Gazebo sim model, demo code, and a library of tutorials. No fluff. Just everything you need to start building real robotics projects today.
Sensors That Don’t Quit
Hacky’s stacked with the good stuff. An Orbbec 3D camera, 2D Lidar, IMU, optical tracking, wheel encoders, bump sensors, slip detection, and more. Every sensor is fully accessible via ROS 2 — right out of the box. No gatekeeping. Just plug in and go.
Built for Movement
Under the hood? A rock-solid Kobuki base. Fast, smart, and rugged — with built-in localization sensors, an 11 lbs (5 kg) payload, and a top speed of 27.56 in/s (0.7 m/s). Integrated batteries and a charging dock mean no extra baggage. It’s everything you need in a mobile robot. And nothing you don’t.
Open to Hack
Hacky doesn’t just support expansion — it invites it. USB ports. Power breakouts. Mounting plates. You want to add sensors? Payloads? Microcontrollers? Go for it. With ROS 2 and micro-ROS support, Hacky makes it easy to build the robot you want — not the one someone else imagined.
