Robotics Simulation & Physical AI Consulting

Your robots belong in simulation — not stuck in a broken pipeline.

We help robotics teams go from CAD files to trained policies in days, not months. Deep expertise across Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Genesis, MuJoCo, and the full Physical AI stack — including any custom engagement you need.

The Problem

Simulation pipelines are broken in a dozen ways.

3 weeks to import a single robot arm. 6 weeks tuning physics. 3 months closing the sim-to-real gap. These aren't niche issues — they're the dirty secrets of robotics simulation, costing teams months before a single line of autonomy code gets written.

Here's one real example we see every week in the industry →

  • Broken URDF / MJCF / STEP importers
  • Physics intrinsics that don't transfer from CAD
  • Articulation constraints rebuilt from scratch
  • Custom sensor integration failures
  • ROS2 bridge version mismatches
  • Sim-to-real policies that fail on hardware
  • Training runs that never converge
  • Isaac Sim version migrations breaking everything
We solve all of them — so your team can focus on autonomy, not plumbing.

What We Do

End-to-end robotics simulation consulting.

From raw CAD files to deployed policies on real hardware. Six focused practices plus any custom engagement — all delivered by specialists who ship production code.

Pain Points We Solve

Every week spent on pipeline issues
is a week your competitors spend training policies.

01

Asset Conversion Nightmares

URDF importers break. Joint hierarchies scramble. Physics properties vanish during CAD-to-USD conversion.

→ Sim-ready assets, 24–72h delivery
02

Physics That Don't Match Reality

Default friction coefficients, incorrect inertia tensors, and untuned contact dynamics produce policies that fail on real hardware.

→ Systematic physics calibration
03

The Sim-to-Real Gap

Visual domain gaps, physics mismatches, and sensor noise models break trained policies when deployed to production.

→ Proven zero-shot methodologies
04

Version Migration Chaos

Every Isaac Sim release breaks existing workflows. APIs change, extensions disappear, importers behave differently.

→ Automated migration & regression testing
05

RL Training That Never Converges

NaN crashes, exploding gradients, reward exploits. 10M+ samples wasted on dead-end policies.

→ Expert reward design & tuning
06

ROS2 Integration Headaches

DDS middleware mismatches, Python version conflicts, single-threaded bottlenecks, physics synchronization issues.

→ Production-grade ROS2 bridges
07

Sensor Simulation Fidelity

LiDAR returns that don't match real-world scans. Camera noise models that break perception. Missing environmental effects.

→ Physics-accurate sensor models
08

GPU Infrastructure Complexity

Petabytes of simulation data. Different GPU classes for sim, training, and inference. Multi-node orchestration at scale.

→ Right-sized infrastructure design
Technology Expertise

Deep fluency across the full
Physical AI stack.

We work at every layer — from raw CAD assets through foundation model deployment. No black boxes, no hand-offs between teams. Just specialists who ship.

Selected Work

Who we work with — and what we build.

We partner with industry leaders, research labs, and startups building Physical AI. Some engagements are public, most are not — and we keep it that way. Alongside client work, we ship open reference projects that demonstrate our methodology end-to-end.

Active Engagement

Hitachi USA

Simulation engineering for industrial infrastructure. Engagement details are confidential under NDA.

Reference Deployment

Quadruped Sim-to-Real

Open reference project: end-to-end RL locomotion in Isaac Lab, trained from scratch and zero-shot deployed on Unitree Go2 hardware. Demonstrates the full methodology we bring to client engagements.

Under NDA

Manipulator & Humanoid Programs
