BotWorld product guide

BotWorld is the platform entry point for robot resources. Use it to discover, obtain, reuse and publish robot digital assets, including models, datasets and engineering projects. When a resource is suitable for further work, you can import it into professional tools such as URDF Studio or Motion Studio.

If this is your first time here, start with the BotWorld quickstart to complete one pass through signing in, finding a resource, opening its detail page and importing it into a tool. This page covers BotWorld's resource structure, interface areas, filters, acquisition methods, interaction features and publishing workflow.

Product Overview

The platform serves robot developers, content creators and ecosystem partners. It covers robot digital asset discovery, model design, motion processing, control authoring, simulation validation and physical robot deployment. BotWorld, URDF Studio, Motion Studio, BotLab and OmO can be used independently, or connected into one robot development workflow.

Product	Role
BotWorld	Asset discovery, community interaction and creator services
URDF Studio	Robot model viewing, editing and assembly
Motion Studio	Robot motion data processing
BotLab	Robot simulation validation
OmO	Physical robot deployment

New users should usually start in BotWorld, find a resource, then enter the matching tool for the next step.

Keyword is too long	Shorten it, for example from `Unitree G1 humanoid robot` to `G1`
Brand term affects results	Remove the brand name and keep the model name
Chinese and English names differ	Try both Chinese and English keywords
Category is uncertain	Enter the matching gallery and browse by category

Get Resources

Browse Resource Cards

Resource cards in galleries and search results show basic information:

Item	Meaning
Cover	Resource thumbnail
Name	Resource title
Type	Category such as robot body or motion data
Creator	Uploader of the resource
Interaction data	Likes, favorites and downloads

Cards are useful for quick browsing. Before using a resource, open the detail page to confirm file formats, version and usage notes.

View Resource Details

Click "View details" on a resource card to open its detail page.

Asset details: preview, download and import

The detail page shows the resource introduction, online preview, file formats, tags, version, update time, creator information, usage notes and action entries.

Before using a model, check:

Whether it includes a complete description file, such as URDF, MJCF or SDF.
Whether referenced assets such as meshes and images are included.
Whether the file format matches the next tool.
Whether version and usage notes are provided.
Whether the asset can be imported directly into URDF Studio.
Whether source or license information is provided.

Download Locally

On the resource detail page, click "Download", choose the content and local save location as prompted, then check the downloaded files after completion.

Note: Keep the complete directory structure after downloading. Do not delete referenced files such as meshes or images; otherwise parts or materials may be missing.

Import Into Professional Tools

Different resource types can be imported into matching tools for further work. Click "Import to workspace" on the resource detail page.

Choose the target workspace by resource type, then continue in the corresponding tool.

Resource type	Target tool	Path	What you can do after import
Robot model	URDF Studio	Detail page -> Import to workspace -> Import into URDF Studio	View, edit and assemble models
Motion data	Motion Studio	Detail page -> Import to workspace -> Import into Motion Studio	Process and generate motion data

For skill resources, use the download or online demo actions actually offered on the page.

After import, check whether the asset library contains complete files, the structure tree is generated correctly, the 3D model is fully displayed, and the page shows no missing-resource or format errors.

If the model keeps loading for a long time, refresh the page and import from BotWorld again. If it still cannot be imported, download the resource package locally and import it from local files.

Interaction Features

Like and favorite actions are available on resource cards or detail pages. Click Like again to cancel it. After favoriting a resource, confirm it under "Workspace -> Favorites". Click Share to open the share dialog, then copy the link or generate a share card as needed.

BotWorld supports online sharing and complete local package transfer.

Method	Steps	Use case
Copy link	Detail page -> Share -> Copy link	Chat tools, forums, email
Share card	Share -> Generate card -> Save image	Social media, with QR code
Local files	Download the complete package, then send it	File transfer

Note: When sharing a local model, keep the original directory structure and include the description file, meshes, textures and documentation.

Profile Page

In Workspace, click "View profile" to open your public profile and published work. Manage private assets, favorites and account details in Workspace.

Use Your Workspace

Manage Assets and Favorites

Sign in and click "Workspace" in the sidebar. Open "Assets" to see your uploads.

Check Storage Space

The top panel shows used space, your limit and remaining space. Click "Refresh" to update usage.

Storage space, close-up: used, limit and remaining

Long-term private storage is limited to 1 GB. Private assets, long-term drafts and retained delisted files count toward it, including versions and covers. Public formal files, temporary submissions and recycled files are excluded. Usage is calculated from retained files, not just the ZIP size.

If storage is full, remove assets you no longer need or apply for public publication. Files still count during review; approval releases the corresponding private storage. If usage fails to load, click "Refresh" and check the latest result.

Publish Work

Upload Guide

For your first submission, click "Upload asset" to open the upload guide, then follow the page prompts to prepare and submit the resource. For later uploads, you can open the guide again from the asset submission page.

Prepare Before Publishing

Before publishing, check each item to avoid review rejections:

Complete resource files, including the description file, meshes and images.
A clear resource name that includes robot or component information.
A concise introduction explaining what the resource is, what it includes, what it is suitable for and any limitations.
A cover image or model snapshot.
Version information and source notes.

Folder Structure and Naming

Recommended folder structure:

unitree_g1/
├── g1.urdf
├── meshes/
├── images/
└── README

Names should be concise and clear enough to identify the robot, component and version.

Recommended	Avoid
`unitree_g1_urdf_v1`	`new file`
`g1_collision_optimized_v2`	`final2`
`six_axis_arm_with_gripper`	`untitled folder`

Upload Steps

After signing in, click "Upload" in the top bar to enter the upload workflow.

On your first upload, follow the guide to prepare files, or click "Skip" to open the form. Choose a category and fill in its details.

Model packages must include a description file and its referenced meshes and textures. Not every model uses STL.

If you have a README or other documentation, fill it in or upload it in the documentation area.

Upload form, close-up: files, cover and asset details

Prepare a Cover Image

After choosing model files, check the generated cover, or click "Upload image" to use your own. To capture another view, adjust the model preview and use the cover capture action. For packages with several entry files, choose the correct description file first.

Save Privately or Submit Publicly

Choose Visibility and fill in the required fields.

Choice	Action and result
Private	Click "Save to personal space". The asset is available immediately and stays out of public galleries
Public	Use "Save draft" to continue later, or "Submit for public review". Approval makes it public

Private upload, close-up: select Private and save to personal space

After a successful save, check the asset and its status in "Workspace → Assets". A completed upload progress bar does not confirm a successful save. On an error, check Workspace before retrying.

Apply to Publish a Private Asset

Open a private asset's editor from "Workspace → Assets".
Click "Apply for public publication", read the prompt and confirm. You do not need to change Visibility first.
Wait for review. You can still preview, download and import the asset. To change it, click "Withdraw application and edit" first.

If returned, revise it using the feedback and apply again. Approval adds the asset to public galleries and your profile. This version does not offer switching a published public asset back to private.

Review State and Edits

Check status and feedback in "Workspace → Assets", then use the edit button on the card.

State	Meaning and next step
Saved privately	Only you can see it; available immediately
Draft	Saved, not submitted for public review
Public application under review	Awaiting a decision; the private asset remains usable
Public application returned / Review rejected	Revise using the feedback and apply again
Published	Public assets appear in the gallery
Taken down	Read the reason, revise and resubmit
Use restricted	Read the reason and contact an administrator

Public asset updates require review. The gallery keeps showing the current formal version until approval. When changing files, update the version, change notes and usage instructions.

Delete Your Own Asset

Deleting stops public access. Contact an administrator if you need to recover it; there is no user-facing recycle bin in this version.

Open the asset editor from Workspace, scroll to the high-risk actions and read the deletion confirmation. After deletion, check that the asset is gone from the list, then refresh storage usage.

Tutorials and Feedback

Click "Tutorials" in the sidebar to browse tutorials and documentation. The "Community projects" area provides an email address for tutorial submissions. Copy it and send from your own email app.

Tutorials: documentation and user case submissions

Use "Feedback" in the top bar to report an issue or suggestion. Include the page, steps and error message.
