NDEM

Autonomous scoop in granular media

A rigid scoop excavating loose material, two-way coupled through the NDEM contact solver — the exact interaction an autonomous loader has to learn.

Simulated with NDEM, our real-time granular engine.

If you're building robots that dig, load, or move bulk material, send us a geometry or a scenario — we'll show you what it looks like in NDEM: real-time and calibrated to real materials.
