<abstract>We present rosaOS, an open-source agentic operating system for embodied LLMs: interactive, LLM-driven agents coordinate various software tools and physical devices through a desktop companion, the Reachy Mini robot. Existing LLM–robotic systems are generally built as a tight, intertwined stack, making it difficult to switch hardware, add extra capabilities, or expand to multiple devices without bespoke integration. Our system aims to provide a classic OS-inspired architecture where an agentic kernel manages all task execution and mediates device access, while process agents invoke tools to perform actions. We adopt industry-standard interfaces with MCP for agentic tool-calling and ROS for robot interactions, and demonstrate rosaOS on a multi-device setup including a quadruped robot, a wheeled mobile robot, and a smart lamp, all controlled through interactions with the Reachy Mini. By incorporating MCP extensibility with ROS hardware interoperability, rosaOS enables a plug-and-play ecosystem for building embodied agentic systems. Our OS is available at rosaos.ai.</abstract>
