Stanley Robotics partnered with Altair to optimize the mechanical design of its autonomous valet robots used in vehicle logistics. Using Altair Inspire and MotionSolve, engineers created a digital twin to evaluate durability, fatigue life, and load conditions under real-world operation. Simulation replaced conservative over-design practices, enabling mass reduction of up to 30% and cost savings of up to 20% while meeting a 10-year service life requirement. The virtual validation process shortened development time, improved reliability, and gave designers confidence to innovate while ensuring robustness for large-scale deployment.
