Building and Integrating AI Agents for Robotics — Experiences, Tools, and Best Practices

NASA JPL has open-sourced ROSA, an AI agent that allows users to query and command ROS-based robotic systems using natural language. The community is actively building on this, integrating frameworks like LangChain to create agents for platforms like TurtleBot3. This sparks a major discussion on best practices for designing, implementing, and safely deploying multi-modal AI agents that combine language, sensor data, and direct robot control in real-world scenarios.
