About Parallel Domain Replica Sim
Parallel Domain Replica Sim enables the creation of high-fidelity, fully annotated, simulation-ready environments from users’ own captured data (photos, videos, scans). With PD Replica, you can generate near-pixel-perfect reconstructions of real-world scenes, transforming them into virtual environments that preserve visual detail and realism. PD Sim provides a Python API through which perception, machine learning, and autonomy teams can configure and run large-scale test scenarios and simulate sensor inputs (camera, lidar, radar, etc.) in either open- or closed-loop mode. These simulated sensor feeds come with full annotations, so developers can test their perception systems under a wide variety of conditions, lighting, weather, object configurations, and edge cases, without needing to collect real-world data for every scenario.

SKY ENGINE AI
SKY ENGINE AI is a fully managed 3D Generative AI platform that transforms how enterprises build Vision AI by producing high-quality synthetic data at scale. It replaces difficult, expensive real-world data collection with physics-accurate simulation, multispectrum rendering, and automated ground-truth generation. The platform integrates a synthetic data engine, domain adaptation tools, sensor simulators, and deep learning pipelines into a single environment. Teams can test hypotheses, capture rare edge cases, and iterate datasets rapidly using advanced randomization, GAN post-processing, and 3D generative blueprints. With GPU-integrated development tools, distributed rendering, and full cloud resource management, SKY ENGINE AI eliminates workflow complexity and accelerates AI development. The result is faster model training, significantly lower costs, and highly reliable Vision AI across industries.

WaveFarer
WaveFarer is a high-fidelity radar simulator that accounts for multipath and scattering from structures and vehicles in the immediate environment of a radar system as well as key atmospheric and scattering effects for frequencies up to and beyond 100 GHz. Applications include simulation of automotive drive scenarios, indoor sensors, and far-field radar cross section (RCS). WaveFarer’s features enable fast and accurate analysis of scenarios with radars in close proximity to structures, targets, and other features in a simulated environment. WaveFarer is designed to support all applications relevant to the simulation and analysis of a radar system. For automotive radar, this includes evaluating radar sensor placement and target returns within a simulated drive scenario environment. For surveillance radar applications, this includes analysis of target radar cross section (RCS) and the impact of materials on results.

Lucky Robots
Lucky Robots is a robotics-focused simulation platform that lets teams train, test, and refine AI models for robots entirely in high-fidelity virtual environments that mimic real-world physics, sensors, and interactions, enabling massive generation of synthetic training data and rapid iteration without physical robots or costly lab setups. It uses hyper-realistic scenes (e.g., kitchens, terrain) built on advanced simulation tech to create varied edge cases, generate millions of labeled episodes for scalable model learning, and accelerate development while reducing cost and safety risk. It supports natural language control in simulated scenarios, lets users bring their own robot models or choose from commercially available ones, and includes tools for collaboration, environment sharing, and training workflows via LuckyHub, helping developers push models toward real-world performance more efficiently.

Bifrost
Quickly and easily generate diverse and realistic synthetic data and high-fidelity 3D worlds to enhance model performance. Bifrost's platform is the fastest way to generate the high-quality synthetic images that you need to improve ML performance and overcome real-world data limitations. Prototype and test up to 30x faster by circumventing costly and time-consuming real-world data collection and annotation. Generate data to account for rare scenarios underrepresented in real data, resulting in more balanced datasets. Manual annotation and labeling is an error-prone, resource-intensive process. Easily and quickly generate data that is pre-labeled and pixel-perfect. Real-world data can inherit the biases of conditions under which the data was collected, and generate data to solve for these instances.
