Robot development: current scope
A dated description of the robot development project’s implemented simulation, software, and export paths, and the remaining manufacturing and real-hardware checks.
Contents
Botdraft is the working name for this project. It will be renamed; the official product name has not been decided.
This note records the development scope described by Grainpeak LLC on October 10, 2026. It is a capability and limitation summary, not a commercial release announcement or confirmation of a public service.
The intended workflow
The project starts with the simulator. Assemble a robot, develop agents, and get the software running before confirming hardware choices and design details. Then prepare exports for printing, purchasing parts, assembly, and real-hardware debugging.
The workflow is not limited to companion robots. Its purpose is to reduce the barrier to starting robot development directly with hardware.
Current implementation
Local 3D assembly, model editing, wiring, and interface checks are implemented. Program execution includes pause, single-step, and run records.
Limited text-session and memory workflows are connected. Supported simulated action proposals require explicit confirmation. Model readings and simulated action receipts must still be distinguished from measurements or successful operation on physical hardware.
Current export paths include a bill of materials (BOM), configuration, portable runtime packages, source code, and STL meshes for models or assemblies. A delivery export can keep the selected artifacts tied to the same applied configuration version.
The export boundary
The BOM currently uses catalog composition and configured cables. It does not establish that every screw, connector, purchase item, or manufacturing material has been accounted for and verified.
Package and source checks have a stated scope. Exporting files does not automatically compile the source, execute the package, or validate the resulting physical robot. Hardware source targets are limited to supported ESP32-S3 bench configurations.
STL output likewise does not prove printability or correct dimensions. Physical fit, materials, tolerances, part separation, assembly order, and actual operating conditions still need appropriate checks.
What we will verify next
Further work is needed to connect the complete manufacturing, assembly, and supported real-hardware workflow. Changes in supported components and interfaces need their own implementation and verification records. This note does not claim validated high-precision dynamics, arbitrary hardware deployment, or a completed product.
Grainpeak LLC is in the pre-launch stage, with no customers or business revenue. Commercial scope, prices, and a release date remain undecided. The robot simulation and development overview keeps the current project boundaries in one place; Company provides public contact channels.
