100+ URDF Models, High Quality and Simulation-Ready in the New AR Mobile Robotics Gallery
Browse the ARMOR Robot Gallery, a curated set of verified URDF and XACRO robot models ready to simulate on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Gallery Deep Links, Native Xacro Support, and ROS 2 Control Actuators; ARMOR v1.1 Release Notes
ARMOR v1.1 brings gallery deep links, native Xacro macro expansion, hardened ZIP security, high-performance editor rendering, and production-grade ros2_control actuator integration to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
ARMOR Arrives on Mac with Native MuJoCo Simulation Across All Your Apple Devices
ARMOR is now on the Mac App Store — the same MuJoCo 3.9 physics engine, URDF editor, and multi-robot world builder from your iPhone, now in a native macOS app with an Xcode-style inspector, unified project library, and seamless cross-device sharing.
Multi-Robot MuJoCo Worlds on iOS — ARMOR is Live on the App Store!
ARMOR v1.0 adds multi-robot MuJoCo worlds, textured & mesh obstacles, and full-scene MJCF export — on a new MuJoCo 3.9 engine. iPhone, iPad, visionOS.
URDF to MuJoCo Export & Simulation Worlds — ARMOR v0.12 Release Notes
ARMOR v0.12 adds simulation worlds (ground plane, obstacles, fixed/free base) and one-to-one URDF-to-MJCF export, so the MuJoCo physics you run on iOS matches your desktop workstation.
Universal 3D Model Export to USDZ, GLB, DAE, OBJ, and STL — ARMOR v0.11 Release Notes
Export robot models from ARMOR as USDZ, GLB, DAE, OBJ, or STL — plus URDF/MJCF/SRDF archives auto-converted for Blender, MuJoCo, ROS, and more.
Native SRDF Editing on iOS and Robot XML Export – ARMOR v0.10 Release Notes
ARMOR v0.10 introduces native SRDF editing and real-time semantic joint grouping for iOS and visionOS. Streamline your ROS workflow with universal URDF bundles and one-click MJCF export for MuJoCo desktop simulation.
How-to: Create a RealityKit Entity from a DAE, OBJ, or STL file
Learn how to seamlessly import 3D assets like DAE, OBJ, and STL files into RealityKit using custom Swift utilities designed for iOS and visionOS development. This guide explores how to bypass traditional USDZ limitations by dynamically loading mesh data into RealityKit Entities, complete with open-source GitHub repositories to jumpstart your spatial computing projects.
Updates for Early 2026; Bilbao Life, ARMOR, Classes, etc
We are beginning our third year in Bilbao, which I cover in a series of short comments and photos. Additionally, i write about technical projects, including Augmented Reality Mobile Robotics (ARMOR), and course content from CS50.
