Hivemind Enterprise SDK

aid: shield-ai:hivemind-enterprise
name: Hivemind Enterprise SDK
description: 'Hivemind Enterprise is Shield AI''s partner-facing autonomy SDK for

  developing, evaluating, testing, and deploying mission autonomy onto

  heterogeneous robotic platforms. It bundles EdgeOS runtime middleware, the

  Pilot behavior catalog, the Forge build and simulation environment, and

  Commander C2 integration libraries. Access is partner-gated; there is no

  public API endpoint or self-service developer portal at this time.
