OpenRUA: Robot-Use Agents Are Zero-Shot Visuomotor Policies
OpenRUA lets Claude Opus 5 control robots through native ROS 2, scoring 99% on CaP-Bench without custom harnesses.
OpenRUA is a minimal harness that gives off-the-shelf coding agents only terminal access to a robot's native ROS 2 interface, without bespoke primitives or prescribed workflows. Using Claude Code with Claude Opus 5, it reports 99.0% success on CaP-Bench and 87.0% on LIBERO-PRO as a zero-shot visuomotor policy. The agent spontaneously wrote perception programs in 96.80% of episodes, motion-control clients in 95.87%, and closed-loop controllers in 50.13%. Code is released at github.com/terminalworld/OpenRUA.

Coding agents are extending their reach into the physical world by writing and executing robot control programs. One might expect the agents to use the existing mature software stack that engineers have developed over decades to access sensors and control motion.
