Mechatronics and Robotics

Maplesoft’s suite of tools for modeling and analyzing mechatronic systems relieves the burden that is typically associated with using traditional simulation tools to develop high-fidelity models. Maplesoft’s next-generation graphical tools for model development and analysis dramatically reduce the time and cost of up-front analysis, virtual prototyping, and parameter optimization of system designs. With an intuitive multi-domain modeling environment and powerful multibody modeling tools, MapleSim is uniquely suited to developing mechatronic systems, including such diverse applications as robotics, guidance systems, active stabilizers, vibration attenuators, and “X-by-wire” systems found in road vehicles and aircraft.

Maple and MapleSim are used extensively for designing systems where open-loop, closed-loop, kinematic, and dynamic behaviors need to be considered. The product suite includes tools for easily transferring work into an existing control development toolchain, and produces models suitable for use in real-time simulation systems for hardware-in-the-loop testing.
