About MORAI
MORAI’s simulation portfolio is organised by operating domain, with Drive for road vehicles, Air for advanced aviation, Defense for military autonomy, Robotics for mobile robots and Traffic for infrastructure analysis. Each product builds a digital environment from high-definition maps and physics models, then adds configurable vehicles, terrain, weather and behaviour around the autonomy software under test.
Developers can model cameras, lidar, radar, GPS and inertial sensors, generate scenarios from recorded data and repeat edge cases that would be expensive or unsafe to reproduce physically. Cloud execution runs many variants in parallel, while local and hardware-connected setups support software- and hardware-in-the-loop validation. The same workflow lets engineering teams develop algorithms, measure performance against defined scenarios and preserve test cases for regression testing as the vehicle or robot software changes.
