Overview

A free, browser-based digital twin of the Asimov robot. Test-drive it in your browser — no hardware required.

Digital Asimov is a free, browser-based digital twin of the Asimov robot. Drive it, watch its telemetry, and explore what the robot can do — all from a browser tab, with no hardware to set up.

It's the quickest way to get a feel for Asimov: a fun test-drive of the robot, and a zero-setup sandbox for developers building against the Menlo Platform SDK before they have hardware in hand.

Access it at try.menlo.ai — sign in and a robot is created for you automatically.

A faithful digital twin

Digital Asimov isn't an idealized physics demo — it mirrors the real robot:

  • Real actuator models measured from physical hardware, not idealized physics.
  • The same control stack a physical Asimov runs, so what works here works on hardware.
  • The same telemetry, streamed over the same wire format as a physical robot.
  • FPV and third-person camera views, rendered as a live video track.

What you can do

Building with the SDK?

Digital Asimov also works as a free test robot for the Menlo Platform SDK — point the SDK at a simulated robot and validate your code before deploying to hardware. See the Python SDK reference.
