Beam Bots - Resilient Robotics on the BEAM

Beam Bots — August 2026 progress update

bb 0.230.25 rework how commands reach an actuator: all three transports now converge on one required handle_command/2, actuators can be addressed by name or full path, and a driver can declare which command payloads it accepts. Arm state is enforced centrally as a result — it used to be each driver’s job, and three of five weren’t doing it.
Breaking, but the migration is short and the compiler names every module that needs it. All four servo drivers have shipped their versions.
Also in the post: Stop finally stopping, Andrew Houllette’s bb_jido audit, and Damir Batinović running teleop on two SO-101 arms he built himself.
