Autodesk Research
San Francisco research division of publicly traded Autodesk Inc., studying robotics, AI, and simulation for design and manufacturing software.
Autodesk Research is the research division of Autodesk, Inc., a publicly traded software company founded in 1982. Autodesk is listed on NASDAQ under the ticker ADSK. The research group investigates technologies relevant to Autodesk's design and manufacturing software across architecture, engineering, construction, product design, and media and entertainment, organized around artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction and visualization, robotics, and simulation and systems research, alongside strategic-foresight and advanced-engineering programs and a residency program for outside researchers.
The robotics group, led by Sachin Chitta, Director of Robotics Research, is based in San Francisco and works on flexible, adaptive robotic assembly systems: combining vision and force sensing with deep-learning perception and learned control behaviors so a system can handle part and environment variation without reprogramming. Published research areas include flexible robotic assembly, cable routing, pose estimation, insertion skills, and dual-arm assembly of multi-part objects, with recent papers appearing at ICRA, IROS, and RSS.
Autodesk Research does not manufacture or sell robots; its findings feed into Autodesk's commercial software lines, including Fusion, AutoCAD, and Revit.
