Complete guide to Wendy - the modern headless content management system
Introduction
Wendy is a modern operating system and development framework for Physical AI projects like robotics, drones, smart cameras, and even embedded servers at the edge. It's highly inspired by mobile development experience like iOS and Android where you can simply plug in an NVIDIA Jetson or Raspberry Pi over USB and start coding. Here are some of our favorite features:
Key features include:
- USB-C deployment and debugging no internet or SSH needed. Just plug in your device over USB-C without any Wi-Fi setup and deploy
