Autonomy Won’t Happen By Itself

Developing autonomous vehicles is difficult with complex sensor arrays and algorithms working in coordination to ensure safe and efficient operation in all situations. Simulation is an important tool for engineers to perform tests that wouldn’t be achievable in the real world. Despite great advancements in autonomous road vehicles, off-highway autonomous systems have their own challenges. Task-specific vehicles and robots feature even more complexity than their on-road counterparts, requiring their own specialized simulation tools.

OPAL-RT is proud to offer both on and off-highway autonomous system engineers a flexible and open simulation platform. Featuring a real-time capable 3D environment with sensor simulation, including cameras and LiDAR, users can create countless autonomous vehicle scenarios. Need to connect an existing electromechanical Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation or other real-time models? We’ve got you covered with one of the simulation market’s most flexible co-simulation environments.
