Digital twins Synthetic data HIL / SIL Cloud-scale orchestration

Simulation & Test Design

High-fidelity scenario generation, synthetic data, and HIL/SIL validation, plus cloud-scale orchestration to run thousands of parameterised simulations in parallel, optimise robotic behaviours & operations, and deploy the best policies to the field.

From photoreal digital twins and accurate sensor models to CI-gated promotion, we de-risk field trials for vision, SLAM, and manipulation workloads.

Cloud-scale Simulation & Test Design schematic

How it works

  1. Model: build digital twins with photoreal scenes, terrain, and physics.
  2. Instrument: accurate sensor models (multi-camera, LiDAR, IMU, GNSS) with time-sync & noise.
  3. Generate: scenario and traffic agents with domain randomisation & edge-case libraries.
  4. Run at scale: Kubernetes orchestration sweeps parameters and replays logs in parallel.
  5. Score: KPIs for safety, coverage, accuracy, latency, energy, and wear.
  6. Optimise: search controllers/policies (Bayesian, RL, evolutionary) against KPIs.
  7. HIL/SIL: close the loop with hardware rigs and emulated sensors/actuators.
  8. Promote: CI gates deploy proven behaviours to field devices with audit trails.

Why cloud-scale simulation

Faster iteration
Run thousands of scenarios overnight to find robust policies.
Lower field risk
Catch regressions in sim before they become incidents on site.
Objective decisions
Compare algorithms by KPIs, not anecdotes or single runs.
Operational parity
Sensor noise, latency, and timing match edge deployments.
Repeatability
Deterministic seeds & versioned assets for exact replays.
Cost control
Autopilot GPU/CPU scaling and spot capacity to manage spend.

What you get
