The CodecFlow Ecosystem

“A full stack for building, running, and sharing robotic intelligence”

CodecFlow is more than an SDK; it is a living architecture. By integrating modular skills, standardized data, and distributed compute, we have built a cohesive environment where robotic intelligence is no longer built in isolation, but developed, shared, and scaled across a global network.

1. Operators: The Modular Units of Intelligence

(“Skills you can install, combine, and share”) / (“The App Store for Robotic Skills”)

Operators serve as the core interface between developers and the physical world. They package complex robotic capabilities like high-precision grasping or warehouse navigation into hardware-agnostic software units.

• Composable Behavior: Like “Lego blocks” for AI, Operators can be chained together to create sophisticated workflows (e.g., Find → Path → Grasp → Place) without rewriting the underlying system.
• Portability: A navigation skill developed for a quadraped can be adapted for a humanoid with minimal friction, allowing progress to accumulate rather than remain siloed.
• Monetization: Developers can publish, version, and distribute Operators via the Marketplace, earning rewards whenever their intelligence is utilized by the fleet.

2. The Marketplace: The Registry of Intelligence

The Marketplace is the definitive catalog for the CodecFlow ecosystem. It provides developers with a verified, searchable library of:

• Operators & Connectors: Instant “plug-and-play” skills and hardware adapters.
• Datasets & Hardware Profiles: Standardized assets that eliminate duplicated infrastructure work.
• Economic Incentives: A system where creators earn a share of execution revenue, shifting value from hardware sales to intelligence usage.

3. Fabric: Distributed & Composable Compute

(“Responsive at the Edge, Infinite in the Cloud”)

Fabric acts as an intelligent “compute router,” determining exactly where an Operator should run based on latency, cost, and safety.

• On-Device (The Edge): Manages real-time, mission-critical reflexes directly on the hardware for zero-latency safety.
• The Cloud (The Core): Handles heavy lifting—such as massive foundation models and large-scale simulations—accessible only when the task requires deeper intelligence.
• Identity Layer: Fabric integrates machine identities (e.g., peaq DIDs, ERC-8004), removing the need for custom authentication systems for every new deployment.

4. The OPTR SDK: The Developer Toolkit

The OPTR SDK is the entry point for builders. It provides the essential tools to build, test, and deploy Operators in record time. With pre-built templates for perception, planning, and control, as well as native simulation APIs, the SDK allows small teams to ship high-level autonomy that previously required entire research departments.

By decoupling intelligence from the chassis, we’ve created a system where skills can finally travel. This is the foundation of a shared robotics ecosystem, an infrastructure built for the architects of the next economy.
