  • Digital twin

    A digital twin in robotics is a virtual model of a real robot or cell, kept in sync with live data to simulate, monitor and optimize…

  • Domain randomization

    Domain randomization is a robot simulation technique that varies physics, visuals and sensor noise during training so learned models work on real hardware.

  • Gazebo

    Gazebo is an open-source 3D robot simulator that models physics, sensors and environments so robot software can be tested before it runs on hardware.

  • Isaac Sim

    Isaac Sim is a GPU-accelerated robot simulator from NVIDIA used in robotics to test robots, train policies and generate synthetic sensor data.

  • MuJoCo

    MuJoCo is an open-source physics engine for fast, accurate simulation of articulated bodies with contact, widely used in robotics and reinforcement learning.

  • Robot simulator

    A robot simulator is software that models robots, sensors and environments with physics so robotics teams can develop and test behavior virtually.

  • Webots

    Webots is an open-source desktop robot simulator that models robots, sensors and environments in 3D so controllers can be developed and tested before hardware.
