Beyond Games: How Open Source 3D Simulations are Accelerating Robotic Innovation
Manage episode 356194167 series 3400515
The applications for open source 3D technologies extend well beyond gaming realms. In fact, Open 3D Engine (O3DE) is increasingly being used to develop and validate the next generation of robots – those that will help us explore new worlds and assist with countless tasks here on Earth.
In this episode of Tales from the 3rd Dimension, Open 3D Foundation (O3DF) Executive Director Royal O’Brien talks with Robotec.ai’s VP of Robotics and Simulation Adam Dąbrowski about the value of simulating robot behaviors and their environments using O3DE.
In the wide-ranging discussion, Royal and Adam explain why traditional and commercial simulation engines are insufficient for the complexity and scale of modern robotics applications. They discuss the integration between O3DE and the popular robot operating system (ROS), and how it will accelerate robotic development and innovation. They talk about the joy, pride, and opportunities that often come with open source contributions and community participation. And they envision a future aided by fruit-picking farm robots and spacefaring exploration robots.
