Roboco use-case page

Robotics Teams, Makerspaces & Labs

Physical AI lab coordinator and private compute fabric

Best placement

Lab bench, robotics area, makerspace network shelf, classroom lab, or dev desk.

Hardware fit

Roboco Orin Nano as lab control plane. Jetson Thor strongly recommended. DGX Spark strongly recommended for advanced AI/robotics labs.

Setup instructions

  1. 1.Install Roboco on the lab network.
  2. 2.Pair lab manager and team roles.
  3. 3.Install node agents on Jetsons, Thor, DGX Spark, and lab machines.
  4. 4.Register cameras/sensors and approved robotics tools.
  5. 5.Create experiment log and safety workflows.
  6. 6.Enable compute routing across Orin, Thor, and DGX Spark.

Copy/paste prompt templates

Initial setup planner

I am setting up Roboco for Robotics Teams, Makerspaces & Labs.
My primary goal is: [GOAL].
My location/device placement is: [WHERE_ROBOCO_WILL_SIT].
My approved integrations are: [INTEGRATIONS].
My privacy requirements are: [LOCAL_ONLY / CLOUD_ALLOWED_WITH_APPROVAL / OTHER].
Create a setup plan, recommended automations, and the first 10 prompts I should try.

Safe discovery prompt

Roboco, scan only my approved local network for the Robotics Teams, Makerspaces & Labs setup.
Do not control anything yet.
Show me discovered devices grouped by type, risk, and recommended action.
Ask for approval before enabling any integration or automation.

Daily briefing prompt

Roboco, give me my daily Robotics Teams, Makerspaces & Labs briefing.
Include: important changes, open tasks, devices or systems needing attention, recommended next actions, and anything requiring approval.
Keep it practical and prioritize what matters today.

Automation builder

Roboco, create automations for this Robotics Teams, Makerspaces & Labs setup.
My top priorities are: [PRIORITIES].
My approved devices and integrations are: [APPROVED DEVICES].
Actions that require confirmation are: [ACTIONS].
Create 5 automations, explain the benefit of each, and ask for approval before enabling them.

Hardware recommendation

Roboco, recommend hardware for Robotics Teams, Makerspaces & Labs.
Current Roboco device: [ORIN NANO / OTHER].
Optional hardware available: [DGX SPARK / JETSON THOR / NAS / EXTRA ROBOCO].
My workloads are: [DOCUMENTS / CAMERAS / IOT / MEETINGS / RESEARCH / ROBOTICS].
Tell me whether Orin is enough or whether DGX Spark, Jetson Thor, or more Robocos would help.

Recommended first launch script

  1. 1. Plug in Roboco power and Ethernet.
  2. 2. Open roboco.local or scan the QR/pairing code.
  3. 3. Choose the matching persona page: Robotics Teams, Makerspaces & Labs.
  4. 4. Copy the Initial Setup Planner prompt and fill in the blanks.
  5. 5. Run Safe Discovery, approve only the integrations you trust, then enable Daily Briefing.
