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 utilized in advanced development and research by major construction machinery manufacturers, national research institutes, and universities. This development tool has a high versatility that allows users to build their own simulators. On the other hand, it requires a corresponding level of skill and effort from the user. It falls within 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 on how this could be used, please feel free to contact us. We can provide advice based on our knowledge 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 reaction forces at contact points and torques 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 fundamentally cannot handle 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 fact that the simulation does not diverge even when connecting rigid bodies continuously with constraints that have six degrees of freedom demonstrates the superiority of AGX Dynamics' physics engine, and the direct method solver that achieves this is technically advanced. This advantage in accuracy and performance is not only applicable to cables but also to simulations of mechanisms where each rigid body is stiffly connected, such as industrial robots and construction machinery.
