Gobot is a Go framework for robotics, physical computing, and the Internet of Things. It provides a consistent hardware abstraction layer (HAL) over dozens of single-board computers (Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Intel Edison, Jetson, etc.), microcontrollers (Arduino via Firmata, Digispark), and communication protocols (GPIO, I2C, SPI, BLE, serial, MQTT, NATS, MAVLink). The architecture is modular: platform-specific adaptors implement core interfaces (DigitalPinner, PWMPinner, I2cBusAdaptor, etc.) and are composed from reusable building blocks in the `platforms/adaptors` package. Drivers for sensors, actuators, displays, and robots (Sphero, Parrot drones, DJI Tello, GoPiGo3) are organized by bus type (gpio, i2c, spi, ble, aio, onewire, serial) and share a common lifecycle pattern with event publishing and command registration. A built-in HTTP API server (with optional basic auth and CORS) exposes robot state and commands over REST and Server-Sent Events, and includes an embedded web UI (Robeaux). The framework supports both high-level orchestration via `Robot` and `Manager` and low-level 'metal' usage for direct hardware control. External dependencies include `periph.io` for GPIO, `tinygo.org/x/bluetooth` for BLE, `gocv.io/x/gocv` for computer vision, and `go.bug.st/serial` for serial communication. The codebase is extensively tested with mock filesystem and syscall infrastructure, and uses functional options for configuration throughout.
