# Supported Hardware

> 80+ devices supported out of the box, with full ROS compatibility and an extensible driver architecture

Cyberwave connects to **80+ robotic devices** out of the box through its [hardware catalog](https://cyberwave.com/catalog). Every device in the catalog has a pre-built driver that is automatically installed when you pair hardware with a digital twin — no manual integration required.

Beyond the catalog, Cyberwave's open driver architecture means **any device with an API, serial interface, or network protocol can be connected**. You can write a driver in Python or C++ using our SDKs, or use our AI scaffolding tool to generate one in minutes.

***

## How It Works

Every hardware connection follows the same pattern:

1. **Add a digital twin** from the catalog (or create a custom one)
2. **Install the Cyberwave edge stack** on a device connected to your hardware
3. **Pair** — the driver is installed automatically and your hardware starts syncing in real time

The [Edge Core](/edge/overview) orchestrates drivers on the edge device and bridges all communication to the Cyberwave cloud over MQTT.

## Full ROS Compatibility

Cyberwave is fully compatible with **ROS 1** and **ROS 2**. The open-source [cyberwave-os](https://github.com/cyberwave-os) GitHub organization provides SDKs and reference implementations for bridging ROS topics with Cyberwave's MQTT-based digital twin layer.

A typical ROS integration uses the **MQTT bridge** pattern: a lightweight node subscribes to ROS topics (joint states, odometry, camera feeds) and publishes them to the Cyberwave MQTT broker. Commands flow in the opposite direction — from the dashboard or API, through MQTT, and into ROS action servers or publishers.

## Industrial Protocol Support

Cyberwave's driver architecture is not limited to ROS. The same pattern works with any protocol your hardware speaks:

| Protocol           | Use Case                                         |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **ROS 1 / ROS 2**  | Robot arms, mobile robots, sensor stacks         |
| **VDA5050**        | AGV and AMR fleet communication                  |
| **OPC UA**         | Industrial automation and PLC connectivity       |
| **Modbus TCP/RTU** | Sensor and actuator networks                     |
| **gRPC / REST**    | Custom services and microservice architectures   |
| **Serial / USB**   | Direct device control (servos, microcontrollers) |

Each protocol is bridged to Cyberwave through a driver — a Docker container managed by the Edge Core that translates between your device's native interface and Cyberwave's MQTT layer.

## Extend Cyberwave with Custom Drivers

If your hardware isn't in the catalog, you can write a compatible driver and connect it in minutes. A driver is a Docker container that translates between your device's native API and Cyberwave's MQTT interface.

## What You Can Do Once Connected

Regardless of which hardware you connect, every digital twin on Cyberwave gives you access to the same platform capabilities:

* **Real-time teleoperation** — control your hardware from the dashboard, SDK, or API
* **Live telemetry streaming** — monitor sensor data, joint states, camera feeds, and more
* **Dataset recording** — capture episodic datasets for training and evaluation
* **ML model training and deployment** — train models on recorded data and deploy them as autonomous controller policies
* **Simulation** — test in a browser-based 3D environment before deploying to physical hardware
* **Workflows and automation** — chain actions, models, and logic into repeatable workflows
