SDMBot

SDMBot was built as a fair demonstrator to showcase not only our PyBullet Industrial simulation environment, but also the broader idea of planning manufacturing processes digitally before deploying the resulting paths on a real robot. Instead of treating simulation as a side tool, the demonstrator was designed to make digital process planning itself tangible and intuitive.

I designed this exhibit together with a colleague. The central idea was that visitors could step into the role of the planning system: using VR goggles, they digitally plan a welding application in the virtual environment and then see how that planned task is transferred to the physical robot. In that way, the demonstrator communicates both the capabilities of PyBullet Industrial and the larger vision of simulation-based manufacturing planning in an accessible, hands-on format.
