The first game engine for robotics

Lucky Robots launched Lucky Engine, the first game engine purpose-built for robotics, enabling infinite data generation for robotic AI training. The engine provides physically accurate simulation with MuJoCo physics, Vulkan rendering, and Python SDK integration, allowing robots to learn millions of episodes in virtual worlds before deployment in reality.

for Robotic AI

We created the world's first game engine purpose-built for robotics.

Lucky Engine spins up virtual worlds where your robot can try, fail and learn a million times then steps into reality already knowing the job. No hardware to break, no lab time to book, no waiting.

A new game engine built from ground up by the Lucky Robots team #

This is not Unity or Unreal, it's a game engine purpose-built for robotics. You can record 10,000hz, and millions of accurate episodes for robotics AI training. A unique engine with accurate time and real-world physics underneath.

1 armmarble run

from luckyrobots import LuckyRobots

lr = LuckyRobots()
lr.connect(robot="unitree_g1", scene="living_room")

for ep in range(1_000_000):
    obs = lr.reset(randomize=True)
    while not obs.done:
        action = policy(obs.camera, obs.joints)
        obs = lr.step(action)        # logs a labeled episode

Physically accurate SIM-TO-REAL

Industry-standard MuJoCo contact, friction and dynamics run underneath — so a grasp learned in simulation holds on the real arm.

Realistic rendering VULKAN

A Vulkan renderer drives camera feeds close to what the real sensors see — the difference between a vision model that works and one that doesn't.

LeRobot 3.0 Data Output DATASETS

Every motion logs camera frames, joint states and sensor streams as labeled episodes — ready for imitation and robot learning. Directly compatible with LeRobot 3.0.

Drive it from Python gRPC SDK

Connect with the Lucky Robots library, script the robot in code, and run thousands of experiments unattended overnight.

Full Game Dev Experience LUCKY EDITOR

Build scenes, place robots and design environments by drag-and-drop and using C#. You can make any environment just like you are making a game, make your robots play basketball if you like.

Generate a million episodes. Ship the robot that learned. Train in simulation, deploy in reality.

Fly a drone through the same engine #

Aerial robots run on the same MuJoCo physics and Python SDK as the arms and humanoids — autonomous flight, captured as labeled episodes.

Scenes full of objects that open #

Fridges, grills and cabinets are rigged to open and close — so a policy can learn to manipulate the room, not just look at it.

Extending Hugging Face for robotics #

Projects, datasets, models and runs together in one workspace. Train in simulation, replay every episode, and roll the best policy straight to production. Your whole team, in sync.

Host

REPOSOne workspace for robot projects, datasets and models with orgs and teams so the whole crew ships together.

Simulate

RUNSRun simulation tasks in the cloud or on your desktop with Lucky Engine. A full train-and-test loop with no real robot required.

Collect & Replay

EPISODESEvery run is captured. Scrub any episode frame by frame and explore it like a dataset, not a log.

Generate millions of episodes in the cloud

CREDITSIf you want a billion episodes overnight, you can use Lucky Hub to do it.

Scale

BILLINGStart free, grow to enterprise. Only pay for what you run; AI credits, sim minutes and episodes.
