Mobile Robotics Simulation
Remarkable strides are being made in robotic autonomy, but challenges surrounding mobility, power systems and machine learning remain to be addressed.
Simulation of mobile and task-based robotics systems allow engineers to develop control algorithms that perform nearly identically to the real hardware. This translates into improved development productivity and product quality.
Vortex Studio is a real-time virtual test platform that provides the tools needed to create high-fidelity mobile robotics simulations grasping, access, and other task-based robotic applications.
Provide the performance only offered through real-time simulation and allow engineers to connect to code running on control hardware.
Test equipment performance from routine to unexpected scenarios, and from the ocean depths to the worksite to the surface of planets.
Accelerate human-factors engineering and operator feedback with immersive simulators, advanced 3D graphics and HIL simulations.
Vortex Studio provides the framework and engine to accurately simulate mechanical dynamics and contact, and combine that with realistic virtual scenarios, sensors and control algorithms.
It provides engineers with the desktop tools to create mobility and access studies, modelling power consumption, task-based system performance and testing manipulator capabilities. It is the ideal tool for building real-time virtual robots operating in realistic scenarios in the ocean, in the home, on worksites or in space.
Debug simulation performance issues, optimize settings and parameters, and run scripted test suites to automate processes.
Create a variety of scenarios from subsea to emergency response to complex worksites with dynamic, animated objects.
Quickly construct vehicle models, tire/track interactions with terrain and accurate models of manipulators with contact and grasping.
CM Labs’ professional services team can help you accelerate your integration of Vortex Studio, improve user onboarding, and reduce the time required to embed within your enterprise.
Featuring processing optimizations, more built-in sensor extensions, a higher level of graphical fidelity, and a new, flexible subscription model, the updated Vortex Studio 2019a makes it easy for users to add Vortex Studio …
I’m proud to announce the third Vortex Studio release of the year, Vortex Studio 2018c. It’s an unusually large release, bursting at the seams with upgrades and new features. We’ve done some significant work to …
Welcome to my guided tour of the Vortex Studio interface! If you’ve never used Vortex Studio before, this tutorial will familiarise you with the Vortex Studio interface components you’ll be working with throughout your simulation …
In product development, a requirement is a physical or functional need that a particular design must fulfill. It defines the gap that a necessary or desired capability, feature or characteristic will bridge to provide value …
Plant life and other vegetation typically comprise an important visual element in realistic driver training simulations, particularly for off-road vehicles. With this in mind, Vortex Studio’s Vegetation Library allows you to add realistic trees, plants, and …
A few releases back, we added a “daylight preview” feature to the Gallery. Shortly after, we began getting user requests to allow manual re-positioning of the 3D View’s light source – the idea is that …
From mechanical modeling and scene construction to design validation, optimization and deployment, Vortex Studio fully integrates with your workflow.
