Automation Explorer is a state-of-the-art expertise the place customers will nearly expertise and work together with SCHUNK automation expertise in a extremely immersive and detailed, physics-based simulation instrument.
SCHUNK is proud to announce a partnership with READY Robotics to develop the Automation Explorer simulation instrument. As automation expertise advances, simulation expertise should progress additional to assist specification, deployment, and re-deployment of automated techniques. Automation Explorer is a state-of-the-art expertise the place customers will nearly expertise and work together with SCHUNK automation expertise in a extremely immersive and detailed, physics-based simulation instrument.
NVIDIA Isaac SimTM, constructed on NVIDIA OmniverseTM, is a simulation platform used to develop, take a look at, and deploy AI-based robotics functions. Its strong physics engine allows detailed, lifelike simulations that intently emulate real-world situations. READY Robotics is the developer of ForgeOS, the commercial OS for robots and automation, and a pioneer in cutting-edge automation options that overcome the obstacles confronted by producers. Automation Explorer combines NVIDIA Isaac SimTM, READY Robotics’ ForgeOS, and SCHUNK’s automation applied sciences.
Automation Explorer will take the time period “digital twin” to the following degree. Picture-realistic imaging of producing environments, superior robotic management software program, and world-class automation expertise come collectively in a single distinctive expertise.
Physics-based technical product information from automation expertise, like grippers, will drive the simulation. This enables true digital commissioning of real-world automation initiatives. Simulating course of automation with physics-based calculations means extra correct visualization and optimization earlier than a robotic ever reaches a manufacturing ground. Kel Guerin, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at READY Robotics says, “By connecting ForgeOS and NVIDIA Isaac SimTM, clients will have the ability to management any robotic {hardware} and SCHUNK peripherals in simulation and the true world, in precisely the identical manner.”
“Automation Explorer will convey confidence to each new and skilled customers of automation that their course of is being optimized to its full potential. Whether or not investigating automation prospects for the primary time, or re-deploying automation gear for a brand new process, Automation Explorer brings main alternative for understanding automation course of potential whereas additionally digitalizing and simplifying deployment duties,” stated Milton Guerry, President of SCHUNK USA.
