High Performance Modeling Helps Robot Take a Step

 

A project using MapleSIM modeling software at the University of Manchester is helping to perfect the process of humanoid walking in robots. MapleSIM is a physical modeling and simulation tool built on a foundation of symbolic computation technology. It handles all of the complex mathematics involved in the development of engineering models, including multi-domain systems, plant modeling, and control design. MapleSIM can reduce model development time from months to days while producing high-fidelity, high-performance models.
