This paper presents UAIbot, a free and open-source web-based robotics simulator designed to address the educational and research challenges conventional simulation platforms generally face. The Python and JavaScript interfaces of UAIbot enable accessible hands-on learning experiences without cumbersome installations. By allowing users to explore fundamental mathematical and physical principles interactively, ranging from manipulator kinematics to pedestrian flow dynamics, UAIbot provides an effective tool for deepening student understanding, facilitating rapid experimentation, and enhancing research dissemination.
