Quickstart

Drive a robot in your browser in under a minute. No hardware, no install.

Drive a Digital Asimov robot in your browser in under a minute — no hardware, no install.

Open the simulator

Go to try.menlo.ai and sign in with Google.

A robot is created for you automatically — no setup required.

Start the robot

The simulator launches with the robot running. The cockpit interface appears immediately.

Control the robot

Use keyboard controls for direct teleop:

KeyAction
WForward
SBackward
AStrafe left
DStrafe right
QTurn left
ETurn right
SpaceEmergency stop

Each keypress fires one movement command immediately. A green Command sent flash confirms each command; a red Command failed flash means the session rejected it.

For physical robots, see the Asimov API.

Assign actuator IDs before assembly

Assign and verify all 25 actuator IDs before assembling the robot. The robot will not work correctly with missing or incorrect IDs. IDs must be assigned one actuator at a time on the bench; you may need to disassemble the robot if you skip this step.

Go to Assign Actuator IDs

The override applies to this browser tab only. It does not mark actuator IDs as assigned.
