Build a palletizing robot in simulation!
Everything runs in simulation first. No robot arm, no lab, no budget approval.
The part that matters: the code you write in simulation is the same code that runs on real hardware later. Not a prototype version and a "real" version. One codebase, from your desk to a production fleet.
If you want to understand how modern robotics software actually gets built and deployed, this is the fastest way in.
