Haven’t Unreal engine and Unity been used for robotics for over a decade?

Hasn’t the Bullet physics engine been used for robotics for over a decade?

I don’t understand this “first game engine for robotics” messaging.

As an aside, this website crashes for me on safari on iOS.

Their claim is actually: "the world's first game engine purpose-built for robotics."

Idk if that's true or not, but it does exclude all the engines you mentioned.

Is that true though? From Cherno’s videos it sounded like it was basically the hazel engine, repurposed. So unless he rewrote hazel, purposely for robotics, it’s still not actually the case?

While "rewrote hazel" might be a bit of a stretch, we did fundamentally rewrite a lot of the core to make it specifically suitable for robotics simulation, rather than human gamers.
