Morai Co., Ltd. (CEO Jeong Ji-won, Hong Jun), a company specializing in autonomous driving simulation solutions, will hold CES 2023 in Las Vegas, USA for a total of 1 days from January 5 (Thursday) to January 8 (Sunday, local time), 4. The company announced that it plans to introduce the latest technology of its simulation platform, MORAI SIM, to the global market and strengthen cooperation with global companies. The ambition is to strengthen the autonomous driving simulation function and expand its application area to the entire unmanned vehicle industry.
MORAI SIM, a simulation platform for verifying the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles, provides a virtual environment identical to reality, including complex physical situations, weather changes, and changes in illumination over time, by constructing a digital twin. MORAI SIM Drive, specialized for self-driving cars, provides a simulation environment, sensors and vehicle models identical to the real thing, and based on this, virtually verifies the safety of self-driving vehicles. It is characterized by the ability to repeat tens of thousands of times even testing scenarios that are difficult to verify on actual roads, such as the risk of pedestrian collisions.
Morai has made it possible to use the simulation technology applied in the field of self-driving cars to verify the safety of the overall system of unmanned vehicles such as aircraft, unmanned robots, unmanned ships, and multi-purpose unmanned vehicles. In addition to MORAI SIM Drive, we developed ▲ MORAI SIM Robotics, ▲ MORAI SIM Air, and ▲ MORAI SIM Traffic, which are specialized in robotics, airborne vehicles, and traffic control.
First, MORAI SIM Robotics, which specializes in robotics applications, supports autonomous mobile robot (AMR) verification in a virtual environment. In addition to wheeled mobile robots, various types of robots such as walking robots and manipulators are modeled, and various dynamic models are applied to depict realistic movements in a simulation environment. In addition, various environments in which AMR can drive are realistically implemented, from indoor environments such as factories and buildings to outdoor pedestrian roads. Through this, the user can configure the desired environment and scenario and verify AMR.
MORAI SIM Air is a simulation solution dedicated to aircraft for next-generation air mobility such as UAM (Urban Air Mobility) and drones, and verifies the system safety of aircraft in a virtual environment. When operating UAM, various flight environments that may occur in the city are reproduced through simulation to verify the safety of the aircraft, including preventing and preparing for dangerous situations in advance.
In addition, Morai applied digital twin technology to the traffic control system. MORAI SIM Traffic, a digital twin-based control system, supports precise traffic control by implementing the same traffic environment as reality in a virtual environment. MORAI SIM Traffic displays information about autonomous vehicles, as well as connected vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructure on the road network in a 3D environment in real time, allowing the overall traffic flow to be visualized and analyzed. MORAI SIM Traffic reflects traffic information collected in real time to create a traffic flow similar to the real one in a virtual environment, analyzes the impact of traffic flow on autonomous driving and connected vehicles, and conversely, the impact of these cars on the overall traffic flow. Gender can be verified and analyzed.
Morai CEO Jeong Ji-won said, “In a situation where next-generation mobility innovations such as autonomous vehicles, UAM, unmanned robots, and unmanned ships are rapidly progressing, simulation can quickly, safely, and cost-effectively verify the safety and functionality of autonomous driving systems. , is attracting attention as a key technology that will promote mobility innovation. “Through CES 2023, we plan to share Morai’s technology and vision with customers and partners in the global market and strengthen cooperation in the future.”
At CES 2023, the Morai booth will be set up in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC).
Meanwhile, ‘CES’, the world’s largest IT exhibition, is an exhibition where you can understand the trends of the global home appliance industry at a glance. Hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), it is held every January in Las Vegas, USA. AVING News, which has covered CES for 1 consecutive years, has reported CES news around the world every year since 17, and has been selected as the ‘BEST OF CES’, which selects the best innovative products and technologies, and the ‘BEST OF’, which selects domestic innovative companies. ‘MADE IN KOREA’ was held. In addition, CES on-site issues were vividly conveyed through ‘AVING LIVE’.
