SCHUNK and READY Robotics have introduced a partnership to develop an Automation Explorer simulation software utilizing NVIDIA’s Omniverse Platform. The firms say that the brand new software will take the time period “virtual twin” to the subsequent stage.
The Automation Explorer simulation software will permit customers to just about expertise and work together with SCHUNK automation expertise in a extremely immersive and detailed physics-based simulation software. The software brings collectively photo-realistic imaging of producing environments, superior robotic management software program, and world-class automation expertise. The simulations within the software are pushed by physics-based technical product knowledge from automation expertise, like grippers.
Automation Explorer permits customers to just about fee real-world automation initiatives. Simulating these automation initiatives with physics-based calculations provides customers correct visualization and optimization earlier than a robotic ever reaches the manufacturing flooring.
“Automation Explorer will bring confidence to both new and experienced users of automation that their process is being optimized to its full potential. Whether investigating automation possibilities for the first time, or re-deploying automation equipment for a new task, Automation Explorer brings major opportunity for understanding automation process potential while also digitalizing and simplifying deployment tasks,” Milton Guerry, President of SCHUNK USA, stated.
SCHUNK and READY Robotics are utilizing NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim, which is constructed on NVIDIA’s Omniverse platform, within the venture. Isaac SIM is a simulation platform used to develop, check, and deploy AI-based robotics functions. The platform’s sturdy physics engine permits detailed, reasonable simulations that intently emulate real-world situations.
The firms are additionally utilizing Ready Robotics’ Forge OS platform, which is an industrial working system for robots and automation. Altogether, Automation Explorer combines NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Forge OS, and SCHUNK’s automation applied sciences.
“By connecting ForgeOS and NVIDIA Isaac Sim, customers will be able to control any robotic hardware and SCHUNK peripherals in simulation and the real world, in exactly the same way,” Kel Guerin, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer, at READY Robotics, stated.
