Don't stop 'research and development' even remotely! Techniques for utilizing physical simulators.
AGX Dynamics
"Virtualization of actual machines and experimental locations" - Wouldn't it be efficient to advance research and development even in a remote work environment? Supporting the use of reliable physical simulators.
Without actual machines or experimental locations, research and development cannot progress... In this era of remote work, if we have a 'physical simulator' that can recreate the actual machines and their operating environments in the digital world, we can advance research and development without being constrained by location. However, there are also concerns associated with physical simulators: - How much consistency is there between the physical simulator and the real world? - Could it be time-consuming and costly? - Is a high-spec PC required? Our company provides guidance on "virtualizing the physical world" in fields such as robotics, construction machinery, general contracting, and machine manufacturing, through both tool utilization support and technical consulting. With advancements in related technologies and the accumulation of know-how, we are developing simulation models that can withstand virtual space development and establishing means for creating environments that do not require high levels of expertise. As workplace environments continue to shift towards remote settings, why not consider conducting research and development virtually? We will propose utilization and operation tailored to each user. *For more details, please refer to our catalog or feel free to contact us.

basic information
Recent trends in technologies related to physical simulators are: 1. Physical engines responsible for calculating and modeling physical behavior have emerged that are suitable not only for gaming but also for engineering applications. 2. The widespread use of 3D CAD software has lowered the barriers to converting physical models from real-world objects. 3. There is a trend of utilizing game engines (such as Unity and Unreal Engine) not only for games but also for engineering applications, with ongoing development of features and plugins that can be used for engineering purposes, making them viable as simulator development platforms. These points are relevant. Our company offers a variety of services related to building physical simulators, including simulator planning, sales and support of related tools, and technical consulting for modeling. We assist each user in constructing the physical simulator they need.

We are conducting simulations of rigid body grasping by robots. Generally, it is difficult to maintain stable simulations in grasping states, but it is possible to handle them stably through the optimization of constraint conditions. Additionally, various parameters can be obtained within the simulation, such as reaction forces at contact points and the torque of each robot axis, making it a promising application for use in teaching-less systems and in conjunction with artificial intelligence.

This is a cable simulation. AGX Dynamics handles rigid body constraint simulations, so it cannot fundamentally deal with flexible materials. In this cable simulation, the cable is represented by connecting many small rigid bodies with constraints, and by setting parameters for damping and elasticity in those constraints, we can reproduce the behavior of the cable we want to simulate. Additionally, this simulation has constraints with six degrees of freedom, allowing it to account for both movement and rotation. Therefore, it is possible to reproduce twisting phenomena as well. The advantage of AGX Dynamics' physics engine lies in the fact that connecting rigid bodies continuously with constraints that have six degrees of freedom does not lead to simulation divergence, and this is a point where the direct method solver technically excels. This advantage is not only applicable to cables but also demonstrates superiority in accuracy and performance in simulations of mechanisms where each rigid body is stiffly connected, such as industrial robots and construction machinery.
