Gobot is a Go framework for robotics, physical computing, drones, and IoT, supporting 35+ hardware platforms including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, and Parrot drones. It provides adaptors and drivers for GPIO, I2C, and other device protocols, with a Robot abstraction and an optional JSON-over-HTTP API for remote control.

Use cases

  • blink an LED on an Arduino from Go
  • control a Raspberry Pi GPIO pin
  • fly a Parrot ARDrone or DJI Tello programmatically
  • read sensors over I2C on a BeagleBone
  • control Sphero or BB-8 toys over Bluetooth LE
  • build an IoT device controller with an HTTP API
  • connect servos and motors to a single-board computer

When to choose

  • you want to program robots or hardware devices in Go
  • you need to support multiple hardware platforms with one abstraction
  • you're building IoT or physical computing projects on Linux single-board computers
  • you want drone control from Go

When to avoid

  • you need real-time control on bare-metal microcontrollers (consider TinyGo or C)
  • your hardware platform is not among the supported adaptors
  • you prefer Python-based robotics like ROS
