BotWorld

Capability distribution for embodied robotics

Discover, reuse and
distribute robot assets

BotWorld turns the models, motions, skills, scenes and data scattered across your R&D process into digital capability assets that can be reused, transferred and distributed — connecting developers, robotics companies and real-world deployments.

The thesis

A robot's edge now comes from its digital capability assets

Robots are moving from automated equipment to intelligent agents, and value is accumulating in data, models, skill libraries and simulation assets. The competition has shifted from who can build a robot to who can give a robot new capabilities fastest.

Four classes of capability asset

  • Robot model assets

    Body structure, links and joints, collision geometry, physical parameters and sensor configuration.

    • URDF
    • MJCF
    • USD
    • SDF
    • Xacro

  • Motion & skill assets

    Standing, walking, grasping, obstacle avoidance and manipulation clips, retargetable across bodies.

    • BVH
    • CSV
    • NPZ
    • PKL

  • Scene & task assets

    Scene packs, demo projects, task flows and benchmarks for reproducible comparison.

    • Scene Pack
    • Demo
    • Benchmark

  • Data & training assets

    Simulation data, real-world data, RL environments, policy models and evaluation results.

    • RL Env
    • Dataset

Products

One toolchain, from asset to running robot

BotWorld distributes, BotLab runs, and URDF Studio, Motion Studio and OmO complete the workflow. Each tool stands on its own, or they chain together around a shared asset.

  • Template components

    Reusable PD controller, RL policy, MuJoCo policy and WBC policy modules shorten setup.

  • In-browser simulation

    Loads MuJoCo WASM, robot models and terrain; observation nodes read qpos, qvel, IMU and projected gravity, and control output is written back to MuJoCo.

  • Run, debug and publish

    Start, pause, replay and profile; Scope time-series, FPS and real-time factor; package projects as .mscp and publish a standalone runtime bundle.

OmO

In development

Hardware tool

A unified platform for deploying to, monitoring and debugging physical robots — carrying capabilities validated in simulation onto real hardware.

  • v0.1.0-alpha
Coming soon

Capabilities

  • Deployment

    Firmware flashing and one-click deployment to physical robots.

  • Live telemetry

    Real-time telemetry and a device status dashboard.

  • On-robot debugging

    Interactive debugging tools that talk to the robot hardware.

Workflow

Robot development shouldn't start from scratch

Find the building blocks in BotWorld, shape them with the right tool, run and verify them in BotLab, then take them to hardware — and the new capability returns to BotWorld to be distributed.

  1. 01

    Find

    Find and reuse models, motions, skills, scenes and cases in one place instead of hunting for them every time.

  2. 02

    Author

    Fix model structure in URDF Studio; retarget motion onto the target body in Motion Studio.

  3. 03

    Simulate

    Load the asset and run lightweight simulation, motion playback and physics checks — faster than standing up an environment first.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    Deploy to physical hardware through OmO, then monitor and debug on the robot.

Real-world feedback flows back; capabilities keep improving

Get started

Which product should I start with?

BotWorld is the way in. Once you find a model, import it straight into URDF Studio to inspect, edit and export it.

  • I need to find a robot model or asset

    BotWorld

  • I need to view, inspect or edit a model

    URDF Studio

  • I'm not sure where to start

    Start in BotWorld and look for what you need

    BotWorld

Suggested first run-through

  1. 1

    Find a robot model in BotWorld

  2. 2

    Open its asset detail page

  3. 3

    Import the model into URDF Studio

  4. 4

    Inspect its structure tree and joints

  5. 5

    Make a small edit, then export it locally

After this you will understand how BotWorld and URDF Studio fit together, and can carry a model through a full basic workflow.

Ecosystem

Keep capability circulating and compounding

BotLab and BotWorld connect developers, robotics companies and real deployments into a flywheel. This is not a one-off tool but a network where robot capability keeps evolving.

Ecosystem flywheel: developers, the platform hub, robotics companies and real-world scenarios joined by a closed loop.

Create — distribute — apply — improve

  1. 01

    Capability creation

    Developers create models, skills and scenes in BotLab and the authoring tools.

  2. 02

    Asset distribution

    Versions, docs, dependencies and licensing are attached, then the packaged capability is distributed on BotWorld.

  3. 03

    Deployment

    Robotics companies pull the asset and deploy it into real operations instead of rebuilding it.

  4. 04

    Feedback

    Real-world operation produces new data, problems and requirements that flow back and improve the capability.

Open source & community

The tools are open on GitHub

URDF Studio is Apache-2.0 licensed and lives in the OpenLegged organisation.
