Reality check
A demo shows what may be possible. These points help judge whether the product fits day-to-day use.
Works well when
- Simulation, control, perception and repeatable experiments
- Teams that can manage dependencies and hardware interfaces
- Prototyping before committing to a physical deployment
What to check
- Supported hardware, GPU requirements and version compatibility
- Documentation, examples and community response
- How simulation results transfer to the real robot
Not a magic solution
- A guarantee that simulation equals a production cell
- A replacement for safety validation on hardware
- A low-maintenance toolchain without version ownership
