Algoryx is envisioning a plan for bringing full autonomy to heavy off-road machines, even in the most complex and unpredictable environments. At the heart of this visionary approach is the idea that a safe and efficient AI-powered control system needs to operate in two worlds: the real one and a physics-based simulation running in parallel.
