Unity Excavator
Open-source digital-twin excavator with WebGL demos
About Unity Excavator
Unity Excavator is a popular open-source learning project that explores digital twins and physical simulation using Unity. It includes an excavator operation demo with manual controls and autonomous driving experiments.
The repository publishes live WebGL builds, so several of the experiments run directly in a browser without installing Unity. That makes it one of the few open-source excavator projects you can try instantly.
It is Apache 2.0 licensed and the author documents topics from kinematics to render streaming, so it doubles as a tutorial for anyone building their own excavator simulator.
Frequently asked questions

- Yes — the project hosts WebGL builds on GitHub Pages, so you can try the demos without installing Unity.
- Is the source code open?
