Robotics simulation & virtual commissioning

Prove your robot works
before deployment.

MRPX builds fixed-scope robot simulations that help teams validate motion, workcells, paths, and automation before committing to hardware.

Starting at $2,000 · 7–10 business days after inputs are accepted

Pick-and-place check, simulated workcell. MRPX builds the simulation environment — not the physical robot.

A Simulation Sprint can make sense when the work is important but does not justify adding another full-time simulation engineer.

When a sprint is the right tool

Before hardware exists, before an installation, or when one simulation backlog item should not wait for another full-time hire.

Start with a Simulation Sprint

One robot, one scenario, one engineering question. Starting at $2,000 for well-scoped work. Larger cells and harder robots are quoted at $5,000, $10,000, and up. We confirm scope before work starts.

Virtual commissioning is that same sprint when the question is a planned cell or automation sequence — reach, collision, path, layout, or cycle time — before equipment is on the floor. It does not replace PLC commissioning, hardware safety systems, or your engineering review.

A Hosted Validation Twin is an add-on after a sprint, if you want the simulation to stay up for reviews and reruns. It is not a second product to start with, and it is not a live operational twin.

One test we can show

Clearance check, cave rover, simulation. The question was whether the robot fit under the mesh. This is MRPX simulation work, not a customer case study. MRPX does not manufacture the robot.

A sprint returns the simulation or a recording, a pass/fail against the question you asked, a short engineering memo, and a browser review link when that is useful.

How an MRPX Sprint Works

One robot, one scenario, one engineering question. Typical target: 7–10 business days after the inputs are accepted.

1

Send the scenario

The robot, the layout, and the question. CAD, a URDF, or a ROS package if you have them. A complete model is not required to start.

2

We build the simulation

MRPX builds the environment and the defined scenario. Scope is confirmed before that work starts.

3

We run the test

The sprint answers the engineering question: reach, collision, clearance, path, navigation, or cycle time — whichever one you hired us to answer.

4

You get the packet

The simulation or a recording, a pass/fail against the stated question, a short engineering memo, and an optional browser review link.

What do you need your robot to prove?

Send the robot and the engineering question. We reply with scope before any proprietary files are required.

FAQ

What does a sprint cost? Well-scoped work starts at $2,000. Larger cells and harder robots are quoted at $5,000, $10,000, and up. The number on this page is a starting point, not a quote.

Do I need complete files? No. Robot, scenario, and the engineering question are enough to start. A complete URDF is not required to submit.

Is this a software subscription? No. MRPX is a fixed-scope engineering engagement. You do not sign up for a platform to hire a sprint.

How long does it take? A standard sprint targets 7–10 business days after scope and inputs are accepted. That is a target, not a guaranteed date. Complex work is estimated separately.

Does this replace safety certification or PLC commissioning? No. Simulations support engineering review. They do not replace customer validation, hardware safety systems, PLC commissioning, or a professional engineering review. MRPX does not claim safety-critical autonomous control.

Important Notice

Simulations are for demonstration, training, testing, and research purposes. Virtual commissioning does not replace customer-side validation, hardware safety systems, PLC commissioning, or professional engineering review. MRPX does not claim safety-critical autonomous control.
