How It Works

How It Works

Robot testing in four steps

01

Build the Environment

Recreate a real site in 3D, or generate a test environment automatically from maps and drawings.

Environment
02

Add the Robot and Test

Register the robot with a single configuration file, define the task and pass criteria in a scenario, and test repeatedly under different conditions.

Simulation
03

Adapt to the Task

The test records are used to further train the robot AI for your task, and it is then retested with the same scenario.

Adaptation
04

Score Physically and Get Results

Each item receives a pass or fail verdict based on contact, position, and force measurements, and you review the outcome in a report and video that include the verdict reasons and limits.

Who is this solution for?

For robot developers, facility operators, and everyone working with robots

Robot Manufacturers

Struggling with development validation costs?

Test as many times as you need in a virtual environment that reflects your site conditions.

Facility Operators

Need confidence before robot deployment?

Check operating efficiency, bottlenecks, and safety issues before you deploy robots.

Safety Officers

Concerned about robot-worker safety?

Simulate dangerous situations virtually first and develop response strategies.

Our Solution

From development to deployment, we check with physics that it actually worked

imSim is the core product of the AI Robot Adaptation & Validation Arena. Every test records its verdict reasons, measurement scope and limits alongside the result.

A success that didn't actually happen scores zero

We reach the verdict on picking and placing from contact, position, and force measurements, not from a “success” log.

Items that couldn't be measured don't pass

If a required measurement is missing, the item fails with the reason “measurement absent” and is counted separately.

Regardless of robot type

A new robot is registered with a single configuration file. The scoring program and scenarios stay the same.

AI Technology

Inside imSim: AI Technology

AI in imSim is used to adapt your AI to the task, let robots see and move, build tests, and score whether the job was done properly. We do not build foundation AI models ourselves.

1 · Adapt

Adapting AI to the task

  • ·Test records → training data (LeRobot · RLDS format)
  • ·Additional AI training · reinforcement learning (Isaac Lab)
  • ·Failure causes → next training-data design
2 · Work

How robots see and move

  • ·Object position · orientation recognized from camera images
  • ·Grasp position · angle computation
  • ·Collision-free path computation on GPU
  • ·AI model execution · swapping
3 · Build

Building tests

  • ·Scenario drafts in natural language → human review
  • ·Randomized lighting · materials · physics values
  • ·Automatic repetition with varied conditions · result comparison
4 · Score

Scoring the AI

  • ·Robot AI models · external AI modules scored with the same scenario
  • ·Legged-robot walking AI evaluation (pushes · obstacles · human approach)
  • ·Detection AI scoring — checked against defects with known ground truth

From seeing to moving — robot-arm AI processing flow

It finds objects in camera images, computes a grasp pose and a collision-free path, moves the robot, and then scores the result physically (simulation).

All scenes are from the same insertion test — 1 close-up camera · 2 depth camera · 3–5 just before grasping · transferring · inserting (simulation)

Same criteriaEven if you swap in your own AI model, it is scored with the same scenario and the same items.
LimitationObjects being held are not yet accounted for in path computation.

External AI module connection

You can connect your own detection, recognition, and decision models to a test and assign the items each one is responsible for. Whether a module is connected, and which items were not measured, are shown separately on screen.

Records handed over · results received

Even if module results arrive later, the same test is scored again. Connections with no path for rescoring are rejected before the test starts (confirmed 2026-09-30~10-01). This feature does not score the performance of the module itself.

Applications

Application Areas

Scoring centers on tasks that involve handling objects. We are extending the same scoring approach to mobile, aerial, surface, and underwater missions.
