Key Features
Sim2Real Ready
Train with the provided MuJoCo and URDF models using Isaac Lab or MJLab templates, then deploy zero-shot to Asimov 1 with no extra tuning.
Customizable Attachments
Customize your own Asimov 1 by adapting the wrist, head, covers, and back panel with hands, tools, sensors, aesthetics, and compute tailored to your needs.
Repairable by Design
Operate under load with off-the-shelf failure points that protect major assemblies and can be swapped in minutes.
Full SDK + Emulator Workflow (Coming Soon)
Build, test, and deploy with one SDK for robot control, policies, telemetry, and media. Applications run 1:1 from the emulator to Asimov 1.
A Fully Open Platform
Asimov 1 makes its mechanical design, electrical design, simulation models, firmware, and bill of materials available directly to builders.
Design and Simulation Files
Browse the mechanical design, electrical design, and simulation models on GitHub.
Bill of Materials
Request the current parts, components, and quantities.
Firmware
Download and flash the software images needed to run Asimov 1.
