3D & Robot Control: Supporting Next-Generation Robot Development
Next-Generation Robot Development Support Solutions
SANEI HYTECHS offers a robot development solution that seamlessly connects the virtual space with the physical machine, utilizing a combination of 3D data technology and robot control software. We support robot development with an extensive range of solutions, including: field robot simulation, 3D spatial generation, ROS 2 development, Digital Twin, HILS (Hardware in the Loop Simulation), and remote operation.
We make the development of field robots—which is often high-cost and high-risk—more efficient by leveraging 3D CG and software technology to provide a safe and practical testing environment.

Challenges in Field Robot Development and Our Strengths
Developing field robots for outdoor use—such as autonomous drones and automated harvesters, presents numerous challenges on the path to practical implementation.
High Cost and High Risk
Actual hardware testing and field trials carry high risks of damage to equipment and facilities, as well as potential hazards to operators and the environment from unexpected accidents. Consequently, this results in high costs for insurance, repair expenses, and more.
By utilizing our simulation technology within a virtual space, we can significantly reduce both costs and risks, allowing development to proceed safely and efficiently.
Complex Verification Environments
Outdoor environments involve complex interplays of weather, terrain, obstacles, and lighting conditions, making it difficult to verify robot behavior accurately according to real-world conditions.
Our advanced 3D data generation technology faithfully reproduces complex outdoor environments. Developers can quickly evaluate robot behavior under various conditions in the virtual environment, efficiently leading to algorithm improvements.
Technical Barriers to Practical Implementation
Even if an algorithm performs perfectly in simulation, it may encounter unexpected issues and issues when implemented on the actual machine, presenting a major hurdle to practical deployment.
We provide technology that seamlessly links 3D CG (the virtual space) with the physical machine. Since results verified in the virtual environment can be reflected safely and accurately onto the actual machine, the time required for commercialization can be significantly shortened.
Key Solutions
Outdoor Environment Verification using Robot 3D Simulation
Our proprietary 3D simulation technology allows for the pre-evaluation of robot behavior, recognition performance, and path planning within a virtual space that integrates terrain data and sensor information.
We are developing 3D simulation technology that accurately reproduces complex and highly variable outdoor environments, thereby supporting robot operation verification and algorithm development. It is possible to evaluate the robot's behavior, recognition performance, path planning, and more in advance on a virtual space integrating terrain data and sensor information. This significantly reduces the costs and risks associated with physical machine experiments, leading to increased development efficiency and enhanced safety.

Our Proprietary Software: "Robot Scenario Simulator"
Our self-developed "Robot Scenario Simulator" provides an environment where autonomous robot operation scenarios in outdoor spaces can be easily tested using 3D simulation. It facilitates the sharing of field robot operation concepts not only among developers and researchers but also among local government officials considering robot utilization. We also accept contract development and educational content creation based on our simulator technology. By pre-evaluating robot behavior, recognition performance, and path planning in a virtual space that integrates terrain data and sensor information, we achieve greater development efficiency and improved safety.

3D Virtual Space (3D CG) and Physical Machine Integration Technology
We support safe development by providing technology that reflects algorithms verified in the 3D virtual space onto the actual machine, thereby minimizing failures and accidents during robot testing.
Safe Program Verification using HILS
We interconnect the control computer inside the physical robot with 3D CG.
By running tests with the robot in the virtual space before installing the final control program onto the actual machine, developers can discover flaws that could lead to failures or accidents in advance.
