These products offer simulation environments, foundation models, and hardware control frameworks for robotic manipulation and locomotion. They are built for robotics researchers, AI engineers, and hardware developers training autonomous physical systems. Unlike pure software agent or digital animation tooling, this cluster centers on real-world physics, spatial reasoning, and robot actuation.
