Multiple connected paths from simulation to physical control

Use OnRobot developer resources to move through three connected stages: build, train and validate with digital gripper models, bring real-world gripper data into Physical AI workflows, and control supported physical tools. Available functions and deliverables depend on the product and release.

SIMULATE

Simulate your application, generate simulated data, and train your AI model in NVIDIA Isaac Sim using OnRobot gripper models that represent the geometry, movement, and relevant physical behavior of the real device. This helps teams prepare configurations and reduce the gap between simulated and physical testing.

DELIVERABLES

• URDF and USD models generated from adapted SolidWorks STEP files

Simulation-ready gripper models Key benefit

COLLECT

Integrate force, contact, position, and device-state data into data-collection and Physical AI training workflows through standardized interfaces.

DELIVERABLES

• C++ Tool API for direct gripper control and data access

• OnRobot Physical AI ROS 2 Package with standardized topics and Modbus RTU/TCP mapping

Standardized access to real-world gripper data Key Benefit

Develop with tools built for physical interaction

Simulation helps teams prepare robot configurations, tool behavior, and integration workflows. Real-world manipulation adds contact, resistance, grip stability, object variation, and task outcomes. OnRobot developer resources help teams prepare for that transition with digital assets and interfaces for tools designed to act in the physical world.
