Services

Services are built-in software packages that make it easier to add complex capabilities such as motion planning or object detection to your robot. The following are the service types that Viam natively supports. If you would like to use additional service types, you can extend Viam with custom services.

Data Management

Capture data from a robot's components and sync it to the cloud.

Motion

The Motion Service enables your robot to plan and move its components relative to itself, other robots, and the world.

Frame System

The Frame System holds reference frame information for the relative position of components in space.

ML Model

Deploy Machine Learning models to a robot.

SLAM

Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) allows your robot to create a map of its surroundings and find its location within that map.

Vision

The Vision Service enables your robot to use its on-board cameras to intelligently see and interpret the world around it.
