ARMOR
The professional robotics workstation for iOS and Mac
Augmented Reality Mobile Robotics (ARMOR) is a URDF viewer, editor, and MuJoCo simulator for iPhone, iPad & Mac. Visualize and simulate robots like Atlas and Spot in augmented reality — no ROS required. ARMOR uses state-of-the-art file physics solvers and supports industry-standard formats, ensuring your simulation results are professional-grade. Experience a one-to-one export to Gazebo or MuJoCo, so the physics you run on your device matches your desktop workstation, all in a simple interface.
I am an edge case among engineers, as I hold an advanced degree in mechanical engineering, but have switched paths to software. Recently, my interests have focused on robotics design and simulation, and using spatial reality visualization to enhance a user's understanding of the robot.
Those who have tried to break into robotics simulation recognize the barriers to entry of some of the standard software. For example, the Robot Operating System, or ROS, which is an excellent, open-source repository of simulation tools. It is also, in many respects, an *operating system*, complete with Linux bindings, package managers, plugins, and a large footprint on your hard drive. I love ROS, but I also am setting out to make a lightweight system, friendly to newcomers, with a novel interface.
ARMOR provides a strong subset of the capabilities that you can find in desktop software like Gazebo and MuJoCo, while being a simple App Store install on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. In fact, it maintains full export compatibility, meaning when you hit a limitation in the ARMOR app, you can always save your file to SDF/URDF or MJCF formatted outputs, and resume your project on your desktop. I hope by simplifying the entry point, we can help foster the creativity of engineers entering the robotics industry!

Who hunted ARMOR?
ARMOR was hunted by Eliott Radcliffe. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
