The Innate simulator is a digital twin of the MARS robot: the same software that runs on a physical MARS — navigation, skills, the AI agent, the web app — runs on your laptop against a physics simulation of the robot in a furnished apartment. You drive it, run skills on it, and talk to its agent from your browser, exactly as you would with the real thing. Because it is the real robot software (only the hardware drivers are swapped for a simulated equivalent), anything you build against the simulator works unchanged on a real MARS — and the other way around. Use it to:
  • Try Innate OS before you own a robot — the full experience, from driving to talking to the agent.
  • Build and test skills and agents without leaving your desk, then deploy them to hardware as-is.
  • Develop input devices and integrations against the same ROS 2 surface a real robot exposes.

Build with the simulator

The development workflow: skills, agents, ROS access, and the Python API.

What is inside

The simulated MARS lives in a furnished apartment and has everything the real robot has: a driving base, the arm, a head camera and a wrist camera (rendered from the simulated world), a lidar, and a navigation map. The web app at https://localhost is the same operator interface a real robot serves — with an extra top view camera that only exists in simulation. Physics runs in MuJoCo on your machine, in real time. For the architecture behind it (and a ROS-free Python API to the simulated world), see the simulator README in the innate-os repository.
