Version 1.0 of the LiveKit C++ SDK is out. It gives C++ applications a direct path to LiveKit’s realtime infrastructure with the same low-latency audio, video, and data tracks our other clients use.
A lot of the work happening in robotics today runs on C++, from autonomous vehicles and drones to surgical systems and industrial automation. Those systems need to talk to AI in the cloud in realtime, and the new SDK lets them do that directly.
Investing in robotics and embedded systems is a big focus for us. We released the LiveKit SDK for ESP32 late last year, shipped data tracks for streaming sensor and telemetry payloads, and added wake word activation for embedded devices. Recording, replay, and a ROS2 bridge are next up for the C++ SDK, with more robotics work shipping in the coming months.
