Applied provides a range of software tools for developing complex autonomous systems. This includes a custom-built simulation platform that can be used to test individual modules as well as the full system to advance confidence in test results. The entire platform is optimized for scale to process large data volumes and run simulations in parallel in order to validate software quality.
Since launching two years ago, Applied has seen rapid customer expansion as a result of its sophisticated platform combining the best of Silicon Valley engineering talent with domain experts in robotics, software and automotive. Applied Intuition serves customers worldwide in Silicon Valley, Detroit, Europe and Asia among others in a diverse range of use cases with robo-taxis, self-driving trucks, mining, delivery robots, and regulators.
