Bear Robotics
Bear Robotics builds AI-driven autonomous mobile robots for hospitality and service environments — the Servi family (Servi, Servi Plus, Servi Q, Servi Clean) for restaurants, senior living, hotels and hospitals, the Carti cargo line for warehouses and factories, and Kinisi — all managed through the Bear Universe cloud fleet platform. Founded in 2017 by former Google engineer John Ha, headquartered in Redwood City, California, and now majority-owned by LG Electronics. Bear publishes a genuinely open, gRPC-first third-party developer surface: the Bear Cloud API (39 RPCs, 27 unary and 12 server-streaming) for creating missions, streaming robot state and managing fleets, plus an on-robot Bear Base API for direct local control. The Protobuf definitions are published under MPL-2.0 in a public GitHub organization, an OpenAPI 3.0.3 document covers the transcoded REST projection, and v1.3 added outbound webhooks. API keys are issued through an account manager rather than self-serve signup.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles Bear Robotics the way a machine reads it — 24 machine-readable artifacts across 9 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Bear Robotics scores 49.3/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 40/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Bear Robotics
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Bear Robotics. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 9
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Bear Base API
The on-robot gRPC service for direct local control of a Bear robot, used where the cloud is not in the path. 23 RPCs covering drive/twist commands, odometry, battery and robot s...

MCP Servers 1
Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

MCP SERVEREvent Specifications 1
Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.
AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.
Bear Robotics Webhooks
ASYNCAPISecurity Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Bear Robotics, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
