The web-based Robot Gallery has made it much easier to find well-formed URDF models to load into ARMOR — the logical next step was bringing that same browser natively inside the app. This build, sent to the App Store for review, does exactly that: tap the load button in the sidebar, then Import from Gallery, and browse and load a robot without ever leaving the app.
Two smaller but meaningful additions ship alongside it. URDF mimic elements now actually work — visible in the video via the Modena MR-3’s complex linkages, which hold together properly in the MuJoCo simulator instead of falling apart. Link masses can also now be generated automatically straight from a link’s geometry, when a URDF doesn’t declare them explicitly.
Key Points
- The Robot Gallery is now browsable natively in-app — Load → Import from Gallery
- No need to leave ARMOR or use a web browser to find and import a robot
- URDF
mimicjoints now work correctly, demonstrated on the Modena MR-3’s linkage - Link masses can be auto-generated from geometry when a URDF omits them
