In our initial phase, the Sereact Cloud Platform will be released as a Python package, serving as a client interface. This strategic decision is driven by the popularity and widespread adoption of Python in the robotics and automation community, ensuring that our platform is accessible and user-friendly. The use of Python also facilitates ease of integration into existing systems and workflows. To maximize performance, especially in real-time applications crucial to robotics and automation, the package will utilize advanced serialization techniques. Following this, we plan to expand our platform's accessibility by introducing pure HTTP and gRPC APIs. This expansion will cater to a broader range of applications and technical preferences, allowing for more versatile and flexible integration options for our users. This staged release approach ensures that we meet the immediate needs of our users while continuously evolving to incorporate more diverse and robust interfacing options.
