Agile Robots, Audi, Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA announced a collaborative proof-of-concept project at NVIDIA GTC Berlin, using Agile Robots' mobile humanoid robot to complete parts picking and sequencing at Audi's Ingolstadt factory for final assembly of Audi high-end models. The project is already underway. Before the robot is deployed in Audi's smart internal logistics environment, Dassault Systèmes is using its DELMIA application to create a virtual twin of that logistics environment. Currently, the robot is in the Audi Production Lab (its innovation space for testing future production and logistics technologies), taking parts out of material boxes and placing them in the order required for final vehicle assembly. Agile Robots said that in the joint use case demonstrated at GTC Berlin, DELMIA, with the help of NVIDIA Omniverse libraries and OpenUSD, provides physics, visualization and virtual world data exchange technologies; the simulation can initially provide cycle times and identify the steps with the greatest impact on cycle time; it also stated that the physical factory site has not yet changed.
