BIG ROBOTS. BIGGER PLAYTIME.
# Autonomous
battlefield robots
for kids.
Your next teammate might be a robot.
Foam-ball battles. Ridiculous robot moves. A backyard full of possibilities. We're building the robots our 12-year-old selves always wanted.

Play in your browser. No robot required.
MEET YOUR FUTURE TEAMMATE
**Ready. Set. Robot.** A robot taking shape, one iteration at a time.

MADE FOR PLAY POWERED BY CURIOSITY BUILT BY AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS
01 / THE BIG IDEA
## Big robots.
Backyard legends.
Meet your next
favorite rival.
A self-balancing robot. A foam-ball turret. A personality you can’t help rooting for. Gyropup is the beginning of a robot family that rolls, dodges, and battles alongside you.
Our big idea: 50-pound-class robot playmates for foam-ball battles, target challenges, and backyard missions. Explore the simulated prototype today while we work toward the real thing.
[Meet Gyropup in the simulator ↗](https://gyropup.com/designer/sim.html)
The ambition is 50-pound-class play. The current CAD design is 37.5 kg (83 lb), and weight reduction is part of the engineering ahead.
01 / TAKE AIM
### Challenge accepted.
Line up the targets. Make every foam ball count.
[Watch target practice](https://gyropup.com/designer/sim.html?run=targets)
02 / MAKE MOVES
### Roll with your rival.
Two wheels. Moving legs. A whole lot of character.
[See Gyropup move](https://gyropup.com/designer/sim.html?run=drive)
03 / DREAM BIGGER
### Build the next adventure.
From one playful prototype to a whole robot family.

THE PLAYGROUND IS OPEN
## Less scrolling.
More robot.
Spin it around. Try the controls. Replay a physics run. Explore the foam-ball turret and see what makes Gyropup tick.

02 / AN EXPERIMENT YOU CAN EXPLORE
## Built by
autonomous systems.
Robots made with the help of AI, from software to hardware. Gyropup is a Valpatel Software demo of autonomous engineering: agents write code, develop CAD, run simulations, and document their progress—with human direction and review.
01
### Design it.
Real components, real CAD, and a growing record of engineering decisions.
[Explore the design ↗](https://gyropup.com/site/#documents)
02
### Test it.
Simulated motion, balance, and loads help us find the problems before the prototype.
[See the evidence ↗](https://gyropup.com/designer/progress.html)
03
### Build. Learn. Repeat.
Parts lists, printable files, and progress reports live together as the design evolves.
[Inside the workshop ↗](https://gyropup.com/designer/build.html)
**You're seeing the workshop, too.** Work-in-progress pages, unfinished ideas, and failed tests are part of the story. CAD and simulation are predictions; physical validation is still ahead. Gyropup is a development project, not a toy available to buy.
03 / THE SYSTEMS BEHIND THE PLAY
## Serious software.
Ridiculous possibilities.
A real-world playground for the Valpatel software stack. We’re bringing autonomous development, robot coordination, and AI characters toward one playful idea.

### Coordinate the arena.
Maps, robot commands, sensors, and simulated missions: the foundation for connected robot play.

### Bring the personality.
AI creatures with identities, memories, and evolving personalities inspire the companions we want our robots to become.
AI CHARACTERS](https://graphlings.net/) [GraphDone
### Connect the work.
A shared graph of goals, dependencies, and progress helps people and AI agents build toward the next milestone.
HUMAN + AGENT WORKFLOW](https://graphdone.com/)
These are the systems we’re bringing together. The public simulator is a standalone demo; connected hardware and character integrations are still ahead.
COME FOR THE ROBOT. STAY FOR THE BUILD.
## The future of play
is a work in progress.
