Hardware testing partners.
The final test for a robot policy is a real robot. Not every team has the hardware it wants to train for, and simulation results are only a forecast until they are checked on the machine.
If you can provide access to physical units, such as a lab, a fleet, or loaner hardware, we would like to work out together how Optimus can schedule tests on them and bring the results back into the run record. It gives customers a way to validate on your hardware before they commit to it.

How the hardware testing 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.
