Check the service before starting a web workspace.
Try it step by step
- Open Server status on the sign-in screen, or visit the status page.
- Check Workspace for personal server simulation and Voyage for public LIVE.
- If a service is unavailable, try again later. You can use an installed local world when its account service and usage permissions are available.
- See installation and your first world for the next steps.
Advanced: details and reference
World generation and views
- Surface/underwater robot and spawn selection
- Seabed/land elevation collection with source display
- Terrain preparation while moving
- Vehicle: robot tracking
- World: loaded terrain and robot

- Collapsible and fullscreen panels
- Waypoints, terrain route checks and Autopilot navigation
- Mission stop, continue, abort and manual input
- Authenticated ROS 2 direct control
- SDF/mesh uploads and editing
- Autopilot parameter reading and editing
Route checks evaluate terrain and hull clearance. Moving-vessel avoidance and full COLREG rules are unsupported.
