ARMOR: AR Mobile Robotics Engineering

ARMOR is a specialized robotics tool for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that allows users to visualize, edit, and simulate robots using URDF files and the MuJoCo engine. It enables visualization of complex robots like Atlas and Spot in augmented reality environments without requiring a ROS installation. The application provides a mobile and desktop workflow for testing and viewing robotic models across the Apple ecosystem. Not only is ARMOR a powerful tool on the small screen, it also provides an exporting toolkit to transfer your robot designs to the big screen on your desktop workstations. This includes a suite of file conversion algorithms, that can convert the graphical assets in your robot URDF to a range of formats including OBJ, DAE, STL, GLB, and USDZ. Your robot's physical world can also be exported to run in popular software like Gazebo, Drake, or desktop MuJoCo. The premium spatial reality mode in ARMOR allows you to bring your simulation world into the real world, via the RealityKit framework on iOS. Attach your robots to surfaces in the real world, scale and rotate your model, and use your iPhone's camera to inspect details of your design that you would not see in standard 3D simulation software. If your are a student, educator, hobbyist, or professional in the robotics industry, ARMOR is a must-have app for your robotics design, simulation, and visualization workflow.
