About Robotmem
Robotmem is an MCP server in the RAG category: thin npm wrapper for the robotmem Python CLI and MCP server.
Install
claude mcp add robotmem -- npx -y @muscular/robotmemnpx -y @muscular/robotmemThis server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

robotmem — Let Robots Learn from Experience
Your robot ran 1000 experiments, starting from scratch every time. robotmem stores episode experiences — parameters, trajectories, outcomes — and retrieves the most relevant ones to guide future decisions.
FetchPush experiment: +25% success rate improvement (42% → 67%), CPU-only, reproducible in 5 minutes.
Quick Start
pip install robotmem
from robotmem import learn, recall, save_perception, start_session, end_session
# Start an episode
session = start_session(context='{"robot_id": "arm-01", "task": "push"}')
# Record experience
learn(
insight="grip_force=12.5N yields highest grasp success rate",
context='{"params": {"grip_force": {"value": 12.5, "unit": "N"}}, "task": {"success": true}}'
)
# Retrieve experiences (structured filtering + spatial nearest-neighbor)
memories = recall(
query="grip force parameters",
context_filter='{"task.success": true}',
spatial_sort='{"field": "spatial.position", "target": [1.3, 0.7, 0.42]}'
)
# Store perception data
save_perception(
description="Grasp trajectory: 30 steps, success",
perception_type="procedural",
data='{"sampled_actions": [[0.1, -0.3, 0.05, 0.8], ...]}'
)
# End episode (auto-consolidation + proactive recall)
end_session(session_id=session["session_id"])
7 APIs
| API | Purpose |
|---|---|

Retrieve experiences — BM25 + vector hybrid search with context_filter and spatial_sort |
save_perception |
Store perception / trajectory / force data (visual / tactile / proprioceptive / auditory / procedural) |
forget |
Delete incorrect memories |
update |
Correct memory content |
start_session |
Begin an episode |
end_session |
End an episode (auto-consolidation + proactive recall) |
Key Features
Structured Experience Retrieval
Not just vector search — robotmem understands the structure of robot experiences:
# Retrieve only successful experiences
recall(query="push to target", context_filter='{"task.success": true}')
# Find spatially nearest scenarios
recall(query="grasp object", spatial_sort='{"field": "spatial.object_position", "target": [1.3, 0.7, 0.42]}')
# Combine: success + distance < 0.05m
recall(
query="push",
context_filter='{"task.success": true, "params.final_distance.value": {"$lt": 0.05}}'
)
Context JSON — 4 Sections
{
"params": {"grip_force": {"value": 12.5, "unit": "N", "type": "scalar"}},
"spatial": {"object_position": [1.3, 0.7, 0.42], "target_position": [1.25, 0.6, 0.42]},
"robot": {"id": "fetch-001", "type": "Fetch", "dof": 7},
"task": {"name": "push_to_target", "success": true, "steps": 38}
}
Each recalled memory automatically extracts params / spatial / robot / task as top-level fields.
Memory Consolidation + Proactive Recall
end_session automatically triggers:
- Consolidation: Merges similar memories with Jaccard similarity > 0.50 (protects constraint / postmortem / high-confidence entries)
- Proactive Recall: Returns historically relevant memories for the next episode
FetchPush Demo
cd examples/fetch_push
pip install gymnasium-robotics
PYTHONPATH=../../src python demo.py # 90 episodes, ~2 min
Three-phase experiment: baseline → memory writing → memory utilization. Expected Phase C success rate 10-20% higher than Phase A.
