KGROO

A New Programming Language for Machine Automation

Replacing G-CODE with an intelligent, sensor-driven framework

What is KGROO?

KGROO is a domain-specific programming language and framework designed to revolutionize machine automation systems. Unlike traditional G-CODE, which provides static instructions to machines, KGROO creates a comprehensive nervous system for CNC machines and 3D printers, enabling real-time adjustments based on sensor data and machine learning models.

The framework functions similarly to ROS2 (Robot Operating System), but with a focus on precision manufacturing equipment, allowing machines to sense, learn, and adapt to their environments without requiring hardware modifications.
