Extended access
Why this level
- Demos start simulators and Docker containers on your machine and download models.
Install
- Works in
In your terminal, with SkillFoxx CLI
npx skillfoxx add skills/robiumDetects the agents on your machine, shows the access level and pins the version.
Other ways to install

What it does
Robium gives agents physical AI skills, troubleshooting guidance and runnable reference apps. The `skills/` folder covers `ros2`, `gazebo`, `mujoco`, `isaac-sim`, `isaac-lab`, `lerobot`, `rviz2`, `rerun`, `foxglove`, `huggingface`, navigation, simulation, testing and cloud runs. Plugins exist for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. The `npx robium-ai setup` command detects installed agents, creates a workspace with two repositories (`robium/` with editable skills and `robium-apps/` with apps) and connects the agent. `npx robium-ai doctor` checks the environment. Demos run with `npx robium-ai app doctor robot-navigation` and `npx robium-ai app run robot-navigation`: mapping and navigating a simulated house, and a cube transfer between two virtual arms with a pretrained ACT policy.
Who it is for. Roboticists and students who start from a working simulated robot and adapt it together with an agent.
Good fit when
- You want a house map and navigation in `Gazebo` with `Nav2` in one evening.
- A pretrained policy runs on two arms without training.
- The agent helps debug an error in a `ROS 2` node.
- A robotics course starts from ready reference apps.
Not a fit when
- There is no Docker with Compose v2: the navigation example does not run without it.
- Platforms other than Apple Silicon are needed for the native path: it is tested there.
- Firmware for specific hardware is needed.
Example request
Help me run the robot navigation example in a simulated house: check the environment and show the map.Limitations
Node.js 18 or newer, Git and one supported agent are required. The navigation demo needs Docker with Compose v2. The native path is tested on Apple Silicon; for other platforms read the app README. The first run prepares the environment and downloads a pinned model, which takes time and disk. Setup creates ordinary Git clones, so skill edits stay with you. After an update rerun `setup` and restart the agent. Robotics commands start simulators and containers on your machine.
How to disable. Delete the `~/robium-workspace` folder and the agent integration. For skills installed without the full workspace, remove them from the project skills directory.
FAQ
How do I install only the skills?
With `npx skills add robium-ai/robium`. Skills are picked interactively or with `--skill ros2 gazebo mujoco`.
Where do files live after setup?
In the default workspace `~/robium-workspace`. `npx robium-ai workspace` prints the path.
What does a successful first navigation run show?
A saved house map, the robot localized on it and a reached navigation goal.
Is a GPU needed?
For the pretrained two-arm policy no dedicated GPU is needed: there is no training.
Which agents are supported?
Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Cursor.
