Robotics hardware partners.
Robot policies are trained in simulation and then have to work on the real machine. Hardware partners provide robot models, drivers, and access to physical units, so Optimus can build a matching simulation, train against it, and test policies on the hardware. Customers get a supported path from environment to trained policy on your robot, and your hardware gains software that keeps improving how it performs after it ships.

What you can supply
- Robot model partnersOfficial robot descriptions that simulations are built from.
- Driver and control interface partnersThe path from a trained policy to real motors and sensors.
- Sensor partnersAccurate sensor models so policies train for the sensor they will use.
- Hardware testing partnersAccess to physical robots for testing policies before customers commit.
How the robotics hardware partnership works
Steps
- 01
Share access
You give us access to the product, its technical documentation, and a contact on your engineering team.
- 02
We integrate
We build the integration and write the documentation Optimus follows, so it knows when to use your product and how.
- 03
Test together
We run it in a real training setup and check the results with you before anything reaches a customer.
- 04
Go live
Optimus can select your product in customer runs, on commercial terms we agree with you.
For researchers
If you work on robot learning, bring the robot and the task. Optimus can build the simulation, run the training, and keep a record of every attempt, so your lab spends its time on the research question. We are open to publishing results together.
Academic labs, independent researchers, and open-source teams can apply for up to $30,000 in Iacon credits through our research grants.
Talk to us
If a training run consumes what you sell, we should talk. Book a time directly, or write to dev@iaconautonomics.com and tell us which layer you supply.
