Autodesk Mimic Plug-in for Maya Scene Demo

There are very few ways to program and interact with industrial robot arms. One of our driving goals is to create more intuitive and flexible tools for robotic control that open up their use to a broader community (architecture, construction, art, etc.), and make programming more efficient for traditional users.

Mimic is a plug-in for Maya that gives users easy and direct control of 6-axis industrial robots via Maya’s built-in animation tools. It allows the user to pick from the eight different IK configurations, and switch between Inverse and Forward Kinematics. It is fully immersed in the Maya ecosystem, so the user has access to the complete Maya animation toolset to create complex robot motion. With Mimic, anyone who has access to Maya and some animation experience can program industrial robot arms.
