Background & analysis
On October 31, 2026, TestingCatalog reported on X that PokeBot has launched RoboAPI, a public API that lets robot arms carry out new tasks without collecting data or training a dedicated model. According to the post, users connect a supported arm with a wrist-mounted camera and give it a task such as "clean the table", and RoboAPI sends back the next action to take.
The same report adds that RoboAPI runs on Poke-Aurora, PokeBot's first world-action model. Poke-Aurora predicts both what the camera will see next and the arm's next moves at the same time. The technical preview is free and limited to non-commercial use. Supported arms at this stage are the UR5e, Franka, and YAM, each fitted with a wrist-mounted action camera, and the two pieces ship together as one offering.
That is how far the public information goes. There is no mention yet of a general release date, pricing for commercial use, or support for other arm models, so the current status is a non-commercial technical preview.
