About Drift
Drift is an AI-powered CLI copilot for robotics simulations, enabling researchers and engineers to build, test, and debug robot simulations using plain English prompts. It handles the full complexity of ROS, simulator orchestration, URDF files, and launch configurations so developers can focus on what they want to build. Drift integrates deeply with ROS and simulators like Gazebo, actively tracking system states to find and fix issues automatically.
- Natural Language Control — Describe your simulation in plain English and Drift translates it into simulation setup, URDF files, and launch configs automatically.
- Complete Simulation Toolkit — Handles ROS + Simulator + Plugins + OS orchestration, letting you set up and run simulations on the fly from a single prompt.
- Build & Test Quickly — Build any robot and world, launch it in simulation, and wire up your control loop all from one prompt.
- ROS & Simulator-Aware Debugging — Drift actively tracks all states of ROS and the simulator, identifies root causes of issues, and applies fixes swiftly.
- CLI Installation — Install via a single curl command on Linux/Ubuntu and start interacting immediately through the
driftterminal interface. - Coming Soon: World Templates — One-click realistic environments with physics for warehouse, outdoor, or custom scenarios.
- Coming Soon: Robot Gallery — Prebuilt leading robot models instantly customizable to exact specifications, from manipulators to mobile robots.
