01
Typed visual graphs
Compose data, tools, APIs, models, Python, GPU operations, and robot capabilities through validated ports.
Visual runtime for intelligent systems
Build workflows.
Move machines.
Blacknode connects AI, GPU computing, automation, and robotics in one typed visual runtime—built for developers and AI agents to inspect, run, replay, and operate together.

One runtime, many systems
Complex systems become
visible workflows.
Build from reusable nodes, see every connection, and keep execution state available for developers, operators, and agents.
02
Inspectable runtime
Run workflows, watch live state, inspect failures, and replay every execution event.
03
Agent control surface
Give AI agents structured access through MCP, HTTP, and WebSocket APIs.
04
Safe robotics lifecycle
Discover hardware, monitor joints, gate motion, manage services, and stop explicitly.
05
Portable workflow artifacts
Save durable graphs and export readable Python or framework-ready code for deployment, sharing, and iteration.

The robotics lifecycle
From first connection
to operational intelligence.
01
Build
Connect hardware, perception, models, and control.
02
Train
Record datasets and train robot policies.
03
Deploy
Move tested workflows into real environments.
04
Operate
Monitor state, replay runs, and manage services.
05
Scale
Grow repeatable workflows across a fleet.
Modular by design
A growing robotics
workflow ecosystem.
Blacknode packages remain independently installable while working together through stable typed contracts.
R
Robot
USB discovery, profiles, drivers, calibration, lifecycle.
R2
ROS 2
Topics, services, transport, control, dashboards.
V
Vision
Cameras, OpenCV tracking, VLM reasoning, streams.
C
CUDA
GPU kernels, image filters, tensor operations.
D
Dataset
Episode recording, validation, recovery, export.
T
Training
Managed policy training, checkpoints, previews.
Built for collaboration
Developers see the graph.
Agents use the same graph.
Blacknode gives AI agents a structured workflow surface while keeping nodes, connections, runtime events, and artifacts visible to the people building the system.
