Traditional robot development has always required physical machines and real-world environments before you could even begin. This process demands extensive preparation and testing time, severely limiting development flexibility. In challenging environments like space, construction sites, or other locations where physical testing is difficult or dangerous, insufficient preliminary validation often leads to costly setbacks and rework in the field.
ロボット開発は、従来“実機”や“現場環境”が揃ってから
始めるのが常識でした。
しかしそのプロセスは、準備やテストに長い時間を要し、
柔軟な開発を阻んできました。
特に宇宙空間や建設中の現場など
実機テストが困難な環境では、十分な事前検証ができず、
現場での手戻りが避けられないことも。
These physical limitations are complemented by a virtual environment. Simulation enables verification and improvement from the early stages, allowing limited development resources to be focused on more creative phases.

Q1
A1
We officially support Ubuntu 22 /24 environments with graphic cards that support Gazebo (NVIDIA recommended) and Docker. You also need an internet connection for test result tracking and reporting.
Q2
A2
We charge a fee for storing test output beyond a free tier.
Details: https://artefacts.com/pricing/
Q3
A3
Currently available in Asia Pacific and Americas.
Q4
A4
No, Artefacts help you ensure that most failure modes are ironed out so that hardware testing can be more focused and efficient.
Q5
A5
Please see the following guide page for instructions on how to get started.
https://docs.artefacts.com
Q6
A6
Static manipulators (any DOF) configured with MoveIt2 and mobile robots with a standard sensor set supported by Gazebo and Nav2 should work with no or minor changes.
Q7
A7
We currently provide the following types of environments and respective test suites:
• Food factory work cell
• Office
Test suites are fundamental scenarios like food pick and place and obstacle navigation, as well as more mundane tests based on experience like sanity checks, basic calibration and sag testing.
What simulation engines does Artefacts support?
Artefacts currently support Gazebo out of the box. Other simulators (Isaac…) can be supported with additional integration efforts.
Q8
A8
We support ROS2 (Humble, Jazzy) based applications for manipulators and mobile robots that can run on x86.
We plan to support non-ROS applications in the future but don't have a target date at the moment.
Q9
A9
Yes. The dashboard, command line tool (CLI), and documentation are all available in Japanese.
