Custom robot simulation builds

Send us your robot. We build the simulation.

You provide your robot design, CAD, URDF, mesh files, or concept. We build a browser-based simulation with controls, camera views, and dashboards — hosted and ready for demos, testing, training, or investor presentations. Upgrade to a digital twin when you're ready to connect hardware.

Who this is for

Three phases: simulation, portal, digital twin

Start with a simulation prototype. Expand into a hosted portal. Connect to hardware when ready.

Phase 1 — Simulation Prototype

Starting at $2,000 one-time

  • Robot model import or simplified recreation
  • Simulated environment and camera views
  • Basic control interface (keyboard, joystick, or custom)
  • Demo-ready hosted page or private access link
  • One revision pass
Start Phase 1 Intake

Phase 2 — Hosted Portal

Starting at $200/month

  • Hosted simulation access with controlled permissions
  • Browser control dashboard
  • Basic telemetry display
  • Customer/investor demo workflows
  • Maintenance and uptime monitoring
Start Hosting Intake

Phase 3 — Digital Twin Integration

Starting at $6,000 one-time

  • Real robot telemetry integration
  • Live dashboard updates
  • Selected supervised control pathways
  • ROS or API bridge integration
  • Testing and validation support
Start Digital Twin Intake
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.

What you provide

The more detail you share, the faster we can scope and build. Depending on your project stage, you may provide:

What MRPX delivers

Best fit / not a fit

Best for

  • Investor demos you can share in a browser
  • Training and testing before hardware is ready
  • Customer demos without shipping a robot
  • Research simulations accessible to students and collaborators
  • Mission dashboards for rover, inspection, or field robots

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?

Rovers, manipulators, mobile robots, research platforms, robotic arms, inspection robots, and custom systems. If you have a robot model or concept, we can likely build a simulation for it.

What files do I need to get started?

Ideally URDF/XACRO with mesh files, but we can also work with CAD (STEP/STP), STL/OBJ meshes, photos, videos, dimensions, or even a concept description. The more you provide, the faster we can build.

How long does a simulation build take?

Typically 2-4 weeks for a Phase 1 simulation prototype, depending on robot complexity and completeness of provided files. We provide a timeline estimate after reviewing your submission.

Can I upgrade to a digital twin later?

Yes. Phase 1 is simulation-only. When you're ready to connect live robot data, telemetry, or supervised control pathways, we scope a Phase 3 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, maintenance, uptime monitoring, and limited monthly usage. Usage limits depend on compute requirements and simulation complexity.

Start your custom robot intake

Tell us about your robot, upload available files, and we'll follow up with a scope, timeline, and estimate. MRPX reviews your submission and builds the final simulation — you do not need every file to start.
