MRPX Simulation Sprint

Need simulation capacity without waiting to hire? A robotics team gives MRPX its robot files, software stack, requirements, and one clearly defined scenario. MRPX builds the simulation and delivers a usable result.

Starting at $2,000 for a fixed-scope Simulation Sprint.

Standard Simulation Sprints target delivery in 7–10 business days after scope and required inputs are accepted. Complex robots, environments, integrations, or high-fidelity requirements may require a larger engagement.

A typical sprint can include, depending on scope

One robot/platform
Import or preparation of URDF/XACRO/CAD/mesh assets
One defined simulation environment or scenario
Basic robot controls or existing ROS/ROS 2 interface
Camera/sensor visualization where appropriate
One defined test/demo objective
Browser-accessible demo or agreed technical deliverable
One revision/acceptance pass
Documentation/handoff appropriate to scope

Not every $2,000 project includes all of the above. Exact deliverables are established before work begins.

Typical expansion path (optional): Simulation Sprint → Extended simulation engineering → Hosted environment / dashboard → Digital twin / real robot integration → Long-term engineering relationship. Customers may enter at any point.

Safety note: Digital twin and real-robot integrations are scoped carefully. MRPX does not claim safety-critical autonomous control without proper customer-side validation, hardware safety systems, and operating procedures.

When this is a fit

Robotics teams that need simulation capacity now
Companies hiring simulation engineers but needing work completed first
Teams blocked by scarce or busy hardware
Groups needing a customer or investor demo
Engineers who need a ROS/ROS 2 test environment
Companies validating a digital-twin concept before a larger integration

What you provide

You do not need complete files to start a discussion. Depending on the project, useful inputs include:

CAD files — STEP/STP, or split visual/collision meshes
URDF / XACRO — robot structure, joint definitions, and limits
STL / OBJ / DAE meshes — visual and collision geometry
ROS packages / interfaces — topics, launch files, or API notes
Photos, videos, and dimensions — if CAD is not yet available
One scenario definition — what “done” means for the engagement
For digital twin work — robot APIs/SDKs, telemetry interfaces, state mappings, calibration references

What MRPX delivers

Agreed simulation engineering for your robot and scenario
Browser-accessible demo or other technical deliverable defined in scope
Control mapping for agreed input methods where applicable
Dashboard components for telemetry, camera views, or mission displays when scoped
For digital twin engagements, live telemetry integration and supervised control pathways from your physical robot

Best fit / not a fit

Best for

Scoped simulation capacity without adding headcount
Investor or customer demos you can share
ROS/ROS 2 test environments for software teams
Proof of concept before a larger twin
Hosted portals and dashboards for ongoing use

Not for

Instant hardware integration or turnkey production deployment
Unlimited engineering without a written scope
Safety-critical autonomous control without customer-side validation
Clinical care, regulatory submission, or production safety certification

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of robots can MRPX simulate?

Mobile robots, manipulators, inspection/field platforms, warehouse/AMR systems, research robots, and other custom platforms. Scope depends on available models, interfaces, and the defined scenario — not every robot is a standard sprint.

What files do I need to get started?

You do not need complete files to start. Ideally URDF/XACRO with mesh files, but we can also work with CAD, photos, videos, dimensions, ROS packages, or a clear scenario description.

How long does a Simulation Sprint take?

Standard fixed-scope Simulation Sprints target 7–10 business days after scope and required inputs are accepted. Larger or more complex simulation projects are estimated separately and may take multiple weeks.

Must every deliverable be browser-based?

No. Browser-accessible demos and portals are a common advantage. Contract simulation engineering may also deliver other agreed technical outputs.

Can I upgrade to a digital twin later?

Yes. A Simulation Sprint is simulation-focused. When you are ready to connect live robot data, telemetry, or supervised control pathways, we scope a digital twin integration as a separate engagement.

Is this safe for controlling real robots?

Digital twin integrations are scoped carefully. MRPX does not claim safety-critical autonomous control. Real-robot pathways require customer-side validation, hardware safety systems, and agreed operating procedures.

What does the $200/month hosting cover?

Hosted access to your simulation via browser (when that is the delivery model), maintenance, uptime monitoring, and limited monthly usage. Usage limits depend on compute requirements and simulation complexity.
