Add a Robot
Create a virtual robot from the Platform UI.
A virtual robot runs entirely in the browser using the Uranus simulator — no hardware required.
Create a virtual robot
Sign in at platform.menlo.ai and open the My Robots page.
Click Add robot in the header, then choose Add virtual robot.
Fill in the dialog:
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | Display name, e.g. Buddy 1 |
| Description | No | Up to 200 characters — what this robot is for |
Click Create robot. You'll see a "Virtual robot created" toast and land on the robot's settings page.
The robot's language and voice default to English and Kokoro. They're not editable from the UI yet — they appear in the Specs card as reference.
Connect a physical robot
The Connect physical robot option appears in the Add robot dropdown but is marked Coming soon — Platform UI pairing for physical robots isn't live yet. For now, control a physical Asimov robot directly through the Asimov API.
