Showcase and iterate your robot
without hassle.
Spin up a physically accurate simulation of your robot
in the browser — and run it on the very same firmware
you'd flash to real hardware.
No rig. No risk. Just
creation.
Share a working robot with anyone, anywhere.
Share in a single link
Send anyone an interactive simulation of your robot. They click — it runs. No install, no setup, no shipping a prototype across the country.
Build without the bench
Program and iterate without the hardware on hand — and with zero risk of frying a board, stripping a gear, or burning out a motor.
Try every what-if
Swap bodies, materials, motors, sensors and environments. Explore a design space before you commit a single screw to it.
Two kinds of accurate.
A simulation is only useful if you can trust it. Ape is built so the behavior you see in the browser matches the robot on your desk.
Physically accurate
Real rigid-body physics — collisions, contact forces, mass, inertia and friction. Not a pretty visualization of joint angles, but a faithful model of how your robot actually moves and falls.
Hardware accurate
It executes your real firmware — not generic torque or joint-angle control. The exact code you flash to the robot runs in the sim, so simulation and hardware share one source of truth.
"Creation and relationship are what bring joy to life."— the idea behind Ape Robotics
Tell us what you're building.
Whether you're a team shipping robots to production or a hobbyist tinkering on a weekend build — if a browser-based simulation could help, we'd love to hear from you.
Thank you — message received.
We read every note that comes in and we'll get back to you soon. In the meantime, go build your fantasies.
