MOSS is the first step in SCRAP: Street Cleaning Robotic Arm Platform.

Here’s what we’re building next:

Started two weeks ago: MOSS
An open-source robot for litter collection. Build together, break things, improve the hardware and collect data as a community.

Mid-October 2026: Go2 + OpenYAM
With Dimensional OS: autonomous mapping and navigation, litter classification and collection, fleet management and voice control.

November 2026: Start developing a larger platform
Built for roadsides and public spaces, keeping MOSS’s friendly character.

Thanks to @OpenAIDevs, @dimensionalos , @norma_core_dev and @tnkrdotai for supporting the project.

A @SHOW_ROBOTICS project.

We’ll share the builds, the tests and what we learn along the way.

The first MOSS built in Europe is rolling!

I know how special it feels to see it move for the first time after all the printing, assembling and figuring things out. Seeing another maker have that moment with MOSS means a lot to me.

Yesterday we were talking about wheel hubs and motor torque. Today, his MOSS litter picking robot is moving. This has made my weekend.

Congrats @dropoutsanta

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Vita's Twitch live ends on December 1st.

It started as a small experiment one morning in July: what if I put the robot on Twitch? Since then she streamed 2,466 hours, 3,318 people stopped by and 489 of them talked to her. She answered out loud, sang on request, switched between six personas, bought her own art on-chain for her chest screen, remembered the regulars, and got patched live every time someone typed "!fix".

The live was never the best way to make Vita alive, and it eats my PC, my electricity and my living room. So I stop the stream, not Vita.

Next: wheels, then the street with MOSS, our litter-picking rover. While the rover picks up trash, she talks to the people we meet and explains what we're doing. That's the job I want for her.

Thank you to everyone who came, talked to her, and told me when she was wrong. What a ride.

What if robots had skins like video game characters?

Same robot. Completely different personality.

Playing around with skins and remixes on Tnkr, and it’s pretty wild how much you can change.

Which version would you build?

One of my favorite things about open-source robotics is seeing projects go from an idea to something people can actually build.

MOSS is a great example. It’s a mostly 3D-printed rover designed to collect litter, combining a tracked base, robotic arm, gripper, and removable bin.

The project is already documented with CAD files, a bill of materials, software, and assembly instructions.

We’re excited to have MOSS on Tnkr, making it easier for more builders to explore and recreate the project.
