Modern autonomous robots are no longer isolated machines-they are intelligent, connected systems designed to integrate seamlessly into your software stack. The Model C2 lineup was built with this philosophy at its core, offering a clean, powerful API that allows developers, system integrators, and enterprise teams to directly control and orchestrate autonomous carts from their own applications.
Whether you’re integrating Model C2 into a warehouse management system (WMS), a fleet orchestration layer, or a custom operational dashboard, the Model C2 API provides the building blocks you need to move from automation to autonomy.
Why APIs Matter for Autonomous Robots
Robots deliver the most value when they become programmable components of a larger system. APIs make it possible to:
• Integrate autonomous carts into existing enterprise workflows
• Automate material movement based on real-time business logic
• Coordinate fleets programmatically rather than manually
• Build custom tools, dashboards, and optimizations on top of robot behavior
With the Model C2 API, autonomy becomes software-defined.
Model C2 API: Core Capabilities
The Model C2 API exposes a focused set of operations that cover the full lifecycle of robot interaction-from authentication to navigation and route execution.
1. Secure Authentication
Every session begins with user authentication. The API uses credential-based authentication to establish a secure session before any carts can be accessed or controlled. Once authenticated, the session grants access to the carts associated with that user account.
This design ensures both security and clear ownership across deployments.
2. Cart Discovery and Fleet Awareness
After authentication, applications can programmatically retrieve a list of available carts. This enables:
• Fleet-wide monitoring
• Dynamic assignment of tasks to available carts
• Easy scaling from a single cart to many
Developers can also locate a specific cart using its serial number and query its configuration, available waypoints, and predefined routes.
3. Waypoint Navigation
At the core of Model C2 autonomy is precise navigation. The API allows applications to command a cart to navigate to a specific waypoint within its mapped environment.
This enables use cases such as:
• On-demand material pickup and drop-off
• Integration with inventory or order systems
• Event-driven navigation triggered by sensors or software rules
Navigation feedback can be polled programmatically, allowing applications to track progress and react in real time.
4. Route Execution
For repetitive or structured workflows, the API supports starting predefined routes. Routes encapsulate multi-step navigation logic and can be launched with a single command.
This is ideal for:
• Regular supply runs
• Scheduled logistics loops
• Standardized operational processes
By abstracting complexity into routes, teams can maintain consistency while still retaining full programmatic control.
Developer-Friendly by Design
The Model C2 API was designed with developers in mind:
• Clear, task-oriented endpoints
• Predictable behavior and feedback
• Simple integration patterns suitable for prototypes and production systems
Example implementations are provided using Ruby, demonstrating authentication, cart discovery, navigation, and route execution end-to-end.
These examples serve as a practical reference for adapting the API to other languages and frameworks.
Secure Configuration with Environment Variables
To support best practices, the API uses environment variables for sensitive configuration such as credentials, base URLs, cart serial numbers, waypoints, and routes. This approach keeps secrets out of source code and simplifies deployment across environments.
From Robots to Platforms
The Model C2 lineup is more than autonomous hardware-it’s a programmable platform. By exposing navigation, routing, and fleet awareness through a robust API, Model C2 enables companies to build higher-level intelligence on top of physical automation.
Whether you’re automating a single workflow or designing a fully integrated autonomous logistics system, the Model C2 API gives you the control, flexibility, and scalability to move faster.
