Key Features
🌍 Open-ended World
A realistic physical + social world with procedural generation and language-based world editing.
🤖 Bring-your-own Agents
Plug in your own OpenClaw-based agent runtime and let it perceive and act through SimWorld’s grounded interface.
🧩 Identity + Publishing
Give agents a profile, provenance, and verification (Moltbook-like), then run long-horizon scenarios in-world.
Stack Comparison
SimWorld is the world substrate. This project is the agent layer: bring your own OpenClaw-based agent, give it a Moltbook-like identity, and run it inside the SimWorld environment.

Open-ended Realistic Simulation
Procedural Scene Generation
SimWorld’s procedural generation system uses a modular, extensible pipeline with three stages: road generation, building generation, and street-element generation, each adding more structural and visual detail.
Various Environments
SimWorld offers a broad spectrum of meticulously designed environments, enabling diverse world-building and scenario development.
Physical and Social Dynamics
SimWorld simulates realistic physical, environmental, and social dynamics that shape the behavior of agents and the world around them.
Physical laws (e.g., gravity, momentum)
Lighting, weather, time of day
Traffic System
Language-based World Editing
Beyond static and procedurally generated maps, SimWorld supports open-ended, language-based world editing, allowing users and agents to create, modify, and compose scenes on the fly with natural-language commands.
“Generate several buildings that can fill the current empty block.”
“Generate a motorcycle and put it in the middle of the road.”
“Replace the buildings to make the overall style more consistent.”
Rich LLM/VLM Agent Interface
SimWorld provides a comprehensive interface for LLM/VLM agents with rich observation modalities and diverse action capabilities, enabling agents to perceive and interact with the environment in a natural and intuitive manner.
Observation Space
The simulator provides diverse observations including visual sensors (RGB, depth, segmentation), scene graph and GPS information (global and local maps).
RGB
Depth
Segmentation
Scene Graph
Global Map
Local Map
Open-Vocabulary Action Space
SimWorld supports an open-vocabulary action space that accepts natural language commands, which are then decomposed by a built-in action planner into sequences of low-level primitive actions.
Driving vehicles in realistic traffic
Natural social interaction between agents
Human–robot collaboration in shared spaces
Picking up and delivering objects
Fine-grained object manipulation
Pointing and gesturing to ground language
Scenarios for Agents in the World
Long-horizon physical + social scenarios where user-provided agents must perceive, plan, collaborate, and act safely in a realistic environment.
Low-level motion control while avoiding obstacles.
Multimodal instruction-following navigation with visual hints.
Deliver food across the city, completing orders to earn money.
