Mimic - Open-Source Autodesk Maya Plugin to Control Industrial Robots

The Autodesk Robotics Lab excited to announce the release of Mimic, an open-source Autodesk Maya plugin for controlling Industrial Robots. Mimic is a free and open-source plugin for Autodesk Maya that enables simulation, programming, and control of 6-axis, Industrial Robots. It provides a robust and intuitive, animation-based toolset, allowing creators to prototype, validate, and drive automated systems. The team works on a lot of experimental robotics projects, writing many of their own software tools from scratch.They found out that they needed a flexible and extensible solution for working with robots from within familiar design software; and so Mimic was born. We built it to work for us, but we’d like to share it with you to use, change, and expand. Visit us at mimicformaya.com to find out more!
