Question 1

What is Kite?

Accepted Answer

Kite is an IDE for robotics that unifies simulation, training, and deployment into a single workspace. Instead of stitching together ROS, MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, and cloud GPUs manually, Kite gives you one pipeline from robot loading to deployment.

Question 2

Who is Kite for?

Accepted Answer

Researchers and early-stage robotics teams who are spending more time fighting infrastructure than building robots. If you've lost training runs to silent crashes, wasted hours on GPU setup, or struggled with sim-to-real transfer, Kite is built for you.

Question 3

What frameworks and simulators does Kite support?

Accepted Answer

Kite integrates with ROS and MuJoCo out of the box, with cloud GPU access on demand. You can also bring your own frameworks, robots, and hardware, including custom URDF files.

Question 4

What robots are supported?

Accepted Answer

Most robots are supported, and the Unitree G1, Unitree Go2, Boston Dynamics Spot, and the SO-100 are supported as templates.

Question 5

Is Kite a replacement for MuJoCo / Isaac Sim / ROS?

Accepted Answer

No. Kite is the layer on top. It orchestrates the tools you already use into a coherent workflow with validation, debugging, and deployment built in. Think of it as the IDE, not the compiler.

Question 6

How much does Kite cost?

Accepted Answer

Kite is free for one project without GPU access. The Pro plan at $50/month unlocks unlimited projects with cloud GPU access (L4, A100) for training.
