ResGreen Group International Inc. last week introduced SimuPath, a simulation program intended to improve manufacturing and warehouse productivity. It uses Unreal Engine to create 3D representations of facilities that accurately reflect their physical dimensions and structures. SimuPath's artificial intelligence can help determine the best routes for material handling, and it relays the information to ResGreen's BigBuddy, PullBuddy, and LilBuddy robots, said ResGreen. It can also send data to other agents in the virtual environment, such as drones or human workers, the company said in a release. “By leveraging AI, robotics, and high-powered game engine simulations, we are creating a future-ready…
