For robotics R&D, simulation & industrial teams

What does it take to turn a cell layout and a written procedure into a reproducible robot simulation?

Start from what you already have: a cell layout, the written procedure for the task, a robot description, or the simulator and middleware versions you run. Ziva builds one task with a repeatable setup, reset, metrics, and logs, and states what the simulation has and has not validated. You get back an editable project in your engine; Isaac Sim work begins with a scoped enterprise pilot.

Start from whatever you already have

Most projects start from one or two of these. None of them is required. Send what you have and the review identifies what is missing.

  • The cell layout as a drawing, CAD export, or scan.
  • The written procedure or standard operating procedure for the task.
  • The robot description, controllers, and sensor list.
  • The simulator and middleware versions you run, such as Isaac Sim and ROS 2.
  • Measurements or logs from the real cell, if you have them, to validate results against.

What you get back

  • An editable simulation environment in your engine, with software, model, controller, and sensor versions pinned.
  • Repeatable initialization, reset, scenario parameters, random seeds, metrics, and logs.
  • A written validation boundary: what the simulation illustrates and what has been measured.
  • A documented plan for comparing results with hardware or operational data.

Ziva for Godot 4.2 and later is available to download today. Unity is in beta. Unreal Engine and Isaac Sim begin with a scoped enterprise pilot.

How the work is priced

Enterprise pricing is custom to your organization, engine, and use case. There is no public price list. Send what you have through the project inquiry and the quote follows that review. Support and commercial terms are written into the engagement.

Who this is for

  • Simulation engineers and heads of emulation at robotics and warehouse integrators
  • Robotics R&D leads
  • Controls and perception engineers
  • Industrial automation and systems-integration teams

Questions to resolve before production.

What if we do not have a CAD layout or validation data yet?
Send what you have. A sketch of the cell, the written procedure, or the robot model you plan to use is enough to start the review. A CAD export or scan, a controller and sensor list, and measurements from the real cell give the build more to work from, and none of them is required. The written validation boundary states what has and has not been measured.
Is the warehouse example a validated robotics simulation?
No. It demonstrates a virtual environment and mission flow. Physics fidelity, sensors, robot control, measured outcomes, and real-world behavior require separate engineering evaluation.
Can we use Isaac Sim, ROS 2, or our robot models?
Bring exact simulator and middleware versions, robot descriptions, facility assets, sensors, controllers, and the current test setup. We will identify the integrations required for the build. Explore Ziva for Isaac Sim.
Can Ziva help with synthetic data?
It can be scoped around scene variation, sensor configuration, labels, coverage, and export. Generated data still needs traceability, downstream quality checks, and evaluation against real data for the intended task.
When can we call the project a digital twin?
A digital twin needs a defined physical counterpart, operational data, and a tested synchronization process. Until those exist, we describe the work as a simulation or digital-twin prototype.
