Check out our latest Showreel featuring Carbon Humanoids: https://lnkd.in/ePqSj6FJ Why choose Carbon: - Unified, deterministic, single-pass maximal coordinate solver. - Seamlessly pairs independent 6-DoF rigid cores directly with complex collision shells. - Constraint-Level Servo Motor: Natively enforces strict real-world torque & velocity limits and calculates the exact required torque in a single pass. - Rigid Body: Raw high-res triangle collision geometry / Zero simplified proxies. - Ensures mathematical stability and smooth physical simulation even with extreme mass ratios. - It eliminates the jitter common in reduced-coordinate engines (like MuJoCo) when linking heavy rigid structures to dense soft-body meshes. - Provides an advanced 'Sim-to-Real' foundation for high-fidelity digital twins, Embodied AI and Reinforcement Learning.
About us
Numerion Software’s Carbon is a high-performance, fully deterministic Displacement Based Dynamics (DBD) C++ library that integrates Rigid and Soft Body simulation into a multi-physics solution. With a focus since 2009 on Cloth and Volumetric simulation for Real to Sim Digital Twins, for movie visual effects, Carbon has also been used under the radar, since 2016, for Sim to Real for haptics mediated robot operator training (medical and nuclear) and digital twin in the loop for nuclear robotics at UKAEA. Today, following recent upgrades, Carbon is now bridging the Sim to Real Gap for AI training for robotics, and, as a real-time dynamics solution augmenting Physical AI. Carbon provides a unified physics frame-work supporting the simulation of Soft and Rigid bodies with collision and motion constraints (such as Joints), in an easy to use, high performance package for games and movie developers. Carbon uses non-linear constraint solvers to deliver a robustness not typically seen in real-time solutions.

Carbon is a physics solver, using position-based dynamics. Carbon is a fully deterministic, unified solver: Soft bodies (Cloth and Tissue [tets]), Rigid bodies, Joints, Servos interact/collide seamlessly within your simulation. Since 2009, Carbon has been in continuous research and development by a long-standing dedicated core development team based in the UK. Read about this in more detail here: https://lnkd.in/e_AgEJeU
