Building robotics is hard. We're here to fix that.

A universal remote control for hobbyist robots — and the project that started it all.

OG ComfySpace — Building robotics is hard, we're here to fix that

Problem

I have been creating robots for many years, and the biggest issue has always been: how do you interface with your robot? The current options are labor intensive, expensive & not reusable:

Remote controllers
Bluetooth Modules
Screens & Displays

The Application

With this in mind, I spent 1.5 years building ComfySpace. It is a mobile application where you can create buttons and use them to send commands to your Raspberry Pi through SSH.

Available on both platforms:

The Full Platform

OG ComfySpace grew beyond just a remote control app. It became an entire platform for learning and building robotics:

Comfy Academy — Learn Robotics

Our articles simplify robotics basics for non-roboticists. No prior experience needed:

A friendly guide to robotics
How are robots built?
How does one program a robot?
Power sources for a robot

Comfy Projects — Build Robots

Create your own robots or learn from an archive of easy-to-replicate projects:

PlayCar — A remote controlled car, fun to play with & easy to make
Rappit — Talk to an AI chat through a Raspberry Pi
Baymax — Build a real-life Baymax (from Big Hero 6)

ComfyScript — Program Robots Like Speaking English

Instead of writing code, you can use ComfyScript to program your robot. This language is designed to be as easy to use as possible, so you can focus on creating your robot, not the code.

Share your projects with others and spread the word. We can't wait to see what you've created!

Friends Along the Way

Along the way, I met Farooq, a passionate user of ComfySpace — a brilliant 13-year-old kid from Canada. I also met my good friend Ankitt, who later helped me with designing the user experience.
