Don't stop 'research and development' even remotely! Techniques for utilizing physical simulators.
AGX Dynamics
"Virtualization of actual machines and experimental locations" Wouldn't you like to efficiently advance research and development even in a remote work environment? We support 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? - Will it take time and cost? - 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 mechanical 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 development in virtual spaces and means of constructing environments that do not require high levels of expertise. As workplace environments become more remote, why not consider conducting research and development virtually? We will propose utilization and operation tailored to each user. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

basic information
Recent trends related to physics simulators include: 1. The emergence of physics engines suitable not only for gaming but also for engineering applications, which handle the computation and modeling of physical behavior. 2. The proliferation of 3D CAD software has lowered the barriers to converting physical models from real-world objects. 3. The use of game engines (such as Unity and Unreal Engine) is expanding beyond gaming to engineering applications, with ongoing development of features and plugins that can be utilized for engineering purposes, making them viable platforms for simulator development. We believe these points are relevant. Our company offers a variety of services related to building physics simulators, including simulator planning, sales and support of related tools, and technical consulting for modeling. We assist each user in constructing the physics simulator they need.

We are conducting simulations of rigid body grasping by robots. Generally, it is difficult to maintain stable simulations of 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 torques 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 fundamentally cannot 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 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 six degrees of freedom constraints does not lead to simulation divergence, and this is made possible by 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.

Company information
We provide technical consulting and contract development related to the construction of physical simulations. In collaboration with Algoryx Simulation AB in Sweden, we offer technical consulting for customers who wish to implement the professional-use physics engine "AGX Dynamics" into user applications and build custom simulators. Building a physical simulation environment requires a wide range of knowledge, including system planning, modeling, system identification, and modeling techniques, as well as physics, engineering, and mathematics. Additionally, various tools such as 3D CAD, programming languages like Python and C++, game engines, and control software like Matlab/Simulink may be needed for usage and integration. Our technical support team, which can provide these technologies in a one-stop manner, is our strength and characteristic.
