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

1. ## Open the simulator

   Go to [try.menlo.ai](https://try.menlo.ai) and sign in with Google.

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

2. ## Start the robot

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

3. ## Control the robot

   Use keyboard controls for direct teleop:

   | Key | Action |
   | - | - |
   | `W` | Forward |
   | `S` | Backward |
   | `A` | Strafe left |
   | `D` | Strafe right |
   | `Q` | Turn left |
   | `E` | Turn right |
   | `Space` | Emergency 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.
