Fraunhofer taps NVIDIA's simulation skills to improve robot designs

Fraunhofer developed O3dyn to explore new concepts of AMR motion and dynamics for logistics operations. The Fraunhofer Institute in Germany conducts practical research in a number of important fields, including AI, cybersecurity, and medicine. One of its 76 research institutes, the Fraunhofer IML group, seeks to advance robotics and logistics. The researchers are testing the simulation capabilities of NVIDIA Isaac Sim to potentially enhance the design of robots. Its most recent mobile robot development, O3dyn, uses technologies developed by NVIDIA for simulation and robotics to produce an indoor-outdoor autonomous mobile robot (AMR).
