From robot motion to a classroom assignment
Pauk began as a project to build a robot assistant. The tools for running experiments, measuring motion, and keeping results became the foundation for a robotics school platform.

Story
A small robotics school came to us with a recurring problem. Most of the exercises it assigned to students repeated the same kinds of tasks, and instructors spent much of their time setting up environments, tracking runs, and storing experiment results.
We concluded that the most cost-effective approach was to rent GPU servers for minutes at a time for a single experiment or a series of runs, store results in a standard format, and use AI to automatically check each run against its success criteria.

How an experiment works
Set the minimum server requirements yourself or ask AI to choose a server for you.This offer is highlighted in red because it is well below the market rate. Once you accept it, AI installs the operating system and Isaac Sim, then loads your chosen room and robot model.Experiment taskVideo and telemetry recording begin when the experiment starts. Run it yourself or ask an AI agent to run it.We save four camera recordings for each experiment. You can play all four in sync.We also save telemetry in a standard format, so you can analyze and compare different experiments.Ask AI to check whether the experiment met its task and success criteria, or review the results yourself.
Experiments
Three recordings show how the team refined its criteria and changed the controller.
Montage of 24 runs
Staircase and first step
X2 ended with 53.29% of the chassis over the first tread. The trial began from a saved position. The rear foot did not regain support.
First version
A7 dance
The robot completed a one-minute sequence with the camera running. The 5.6 mm body sway was too small.
Revised version
W1 wide dance
The robot lifted two feet by 31–35 mm and turned its head by 20.56°. The overall timing check still failed.

From the lab to the classroom
The project brings physical robot development and schoolwork into one platform. Each has its own acceptance criteria.
Physical Freenove
On the physical robot, the team verified the camera, battery readings, and IMU readings. The hardware record and version archive tie those measurements to the device.
Walking and safe stopping on the physical robot still need validation.
