SPDR Bot – Simulated Spider Robot for Isaac Sim 🕷️

SPDR Bot Render

SPDR Bot is a 4-legged walking robot designed for simulation, experimentation, and reinforcement learning. This repository includes everything you need to run the robot in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, including the URDF description, simulation assets, and a sample control script. You can use this project as a learning tool, a sandbox for training walking algorithms, or a base for your own robotics experiments.


📁 File Overview

File/Folder Description
spdrbot3_direct_project/ Contains the Isaac Lab direct project used for setting up and training policies. Start here if you’re working with Isaac Lab or building your own pipeline.
spyderbot_minimal_URDF/ The URDF model of SPDR Bot. Use this to import the robot into Isaac Sim for physics-based simulation and control. Includes meshes and configuration files.
SpdrBot v12.png A high-resolution render of the robot. Preview the full design before diving into simulation.
spdr.usd The robot model exported to USD format, ready to load in Isaac Sim’s stage view. Use this to visualize or manipulate the robot directly in simulation.
spdr_stage.usd It's a spdr.usd file but with a grund plane.
spyderbot_test.py A basic Python test script to load the robot, move and control joints. Use this to verify movement or develop custom control algorithms.

🚀 Quick Start Tips

  • Use the URDF folder to import SPDR Bot into Isaac Sim
  • Open spdr_stage.usd for a preconfigured scene
  • Use spyderbot_test.py to control joints and test basic behaviors
  • Customize the robot by editing the URDF or using the included Fusion 360 files (available in the paid version)
