basic information
"AGX Dynamics" is a development tool for building simulators. It is utilized in a wide range of fields, including construction machinery, soil, robots, and cranes. Among these, computer simulation of soil is a new technology that is currently being used in advanced development and research by major construction machinery manufacturers, national research institutes, and universities. This development tool has a high degree of versatility, allowing users to build their own simulators. On the other hand, it requires appropriate skills and effort from the user. It belongs to the price range of general CAE tools and may not be an easy-to-use tool. However, we believe that reproducing reliable construction machinery and environmental models in a virtual space will yield various benefits in the future. Our company also offers consulting services to help users build truly usable simulator tools. If you have any ideas about potential uses, please feel free to contact us. We can provide advice based on our expertise regarding the feasibility, cost, and scale of development.

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 by optimizing the constraints. Additionally, various parameters can be obtained within the simulation, such as the reaction forces at contact points and the torque of each robot axis, making it a promising application for use in teaching-less scenarios 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 allows for constraints with six degrees of freedom, which means it considers not only movement but also rotation. Therefore, it is possible to reproduce twisting phenomena. The advantage of AGX Dynamics as a 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 achieved through a technically superior direct method solver. 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.
