Brief

@hamptonism and Antioch Robotics argue physical autonomy is being slowed by expensive, risky real-world tests and propose simulation as the fix. On 2026-06-09 Antioch released Antioch Agent, a browser-based closed-loop simulator that onboards robots, creates high-fidelity scenes, and reduces test turnaround from weeks to hours to reach "software-speed" physical AI.

The recipe is simple.

Break robots.

Physical autonomy has been bottlenecked by the cost and risk of real-world testing.

Antioch lets you onboard your robot, build high-fidelity scenes, and test in hours what used to take weeks.

This is how we get to software-speed physical AI

Introducing Antioch Agent. For the first time, simulate the full physical AI stack in a closed agentic loop, entirely from the browser.

Onboard your robot, build high-fidelity simulation scenes, and test in hours what takes weeks in the field.

Develop physical autonomy at the speed of software, with Antioch Agent.
