Published purpose

This project will draw upon Canada's leading researchers in mechanical dynamics and computer graphics and will add significant capabilities to existing software for mechatronic systems simulation. The project will improve the fidelity of the simulation of robotic grasping and manipulation, and of co-simulation between CM Labs' Vortex Studio software and other simulators such as CSA's Canadarm2 simulator. It will extend the fidelity and applicability of the simulator to support engineering analysis, as well as support the testing of automated controllers through the simulation of electro-optical sensors. This effort will lead to a simulation tool with many more applications in the space industry as well as many other industrial applications where advanced mechatronic systems are utilized. It will provide a unique platform to engineer and test autonomous machines, robotic and remote-controlled systems as well as advanced vehicle systems.
