Getting Started
Welcome to Kinetix. In this guide, we'll take you from a blank canvas to a verified robot model in minutes.
1Initialize Your Workspace
Kinetix runs entirely in your browser. To start your journey, you'll need an active project.
Login & Profile
While you can use the builder as a guest, logging in allows you to save drafts and participate in the community forum.
Sign In with GitHub2The 3D Canvas
Navigate to the Builder. You are presented with a 3D viewport and a hierarchy tree.
Navigation
- • Left Click: Rotate Camera
- • Right Click: Pan View
- • Scroll: Zoom In/Out
Axes Guide
- • Red: X-Axis (Forward)
- • Green: Y-Axis (Lateral)
- • Blue: Z-Axis (Up)
3Defining Links and Joints
Robots in Kinetix are made of Links (the physical parts) and Joints (the connections between them).
"Every link must have a parent link, except for the base_link."
Add a link
Select an existing link and click the '+' icon in the Hierarchy panel.
Configure Transformation
Use the Properties panel to adjust the origin offset and rotation to match your CAD design.
4Validation & Export
Once your kinematic chain is complete, verify that all joints move correctly within their limits.
Export as URDF (Coming Soon)
Planned for v1.2
