Simulation

We are building a (virtual) robotics R&D lab, to lower the cost of experimentation and failure in robotics.

• Physics-based simulation environment for robotics
• Realistic digital twins of popular robots (e.g. Unitree, Engine01, etc), down to the APIs
• Build and train your robotic AI models in a realistic simulation environment
• Provision high-quality, realistic scenarios - e.g. warehouse, home
• 1000x cheaper than working on an actual robots

We will be open sourcing our simulation environment shortly, so stay tuned!

Why?

• Robotics has traditionally moved slowly due to the high cost of failure
• We want to lower the cost of experimentation and failure in robotics
• Our strategy is to focus on cheap progress, and then solve for Sim2Real as an expensive subsequent problem

Roadmap:

• RobotArena to pit your robot AI model against Menlo’s (and others)
• Train your robotic AI models in massive parallel virtual training facilities
• Build and design digital world to train robots
