Strands Spot: Boston Dynamics Robot Control 🤖

Control Boston Dynamics Spot robots through natural language with Strands Agents.

Call Spot SDK services and methods directly without writing boilerplate connection code.

pip install bosdyn-client bosdyn-api bosdyn-core  # Required

Setup

Quick Start

from strands import Agent
from strands_spot import use_spot

agent = Agent(tools=[use_spot])

# Natural language control
agent("Make Spot stand up and take a picture")

How It Works

use_spot(
    service="robot_command",    # Which SDK service
    method="stand",             # Which method to call
    params={}                   # Method parameters
)
