Xarkin Services and Software

At Xarkin, we make motion.

Xarkin is a patent-pending software platform for the automated generation of physics-based motion, simulation and control for articulated assemblies.

Whether you are an animator moving 3D characters in a video, a game developer working to move playing and non-playing characters in a game or a programmer putting 3D characters into a virtual space, Xarkin physics-based accuracy and model based motion re-targeting and generation cost-effectively creates improved character motion in less time.

For robotics engineers and software developers, Xarkin can be used to generate motion, simulation and control; torques and forces, for robotic assemblies.

Xarkin motion models act as a Universal Foundation Agent that greatly automates the creation of motion while increasing the reuse and retargeting of existing motion assets. In short, improved physics-based motion at a greatly reduced cost.

If you have a project that could benefit, just contact us through the form below.

Realtime Motion Generation

For applications such as robotics, gaming and metaverse, Xarkin Motion Models can be programmicatically controlled. Xarkin motion elements are parameterized such that motion requests can be easily adjusted to meet specific requirements.

Xarkin motion elements are universal. The code written to control one character can be applied to another provided they are mapped to the same topology.

Xarkin can run as local software, on edge devices or in the cloud. Xarkin Software provides services and bespoke software deployment options including the setup and management of cloud services, software licensing and tools integration.

Animation: Topological Models

In addition to the Humanoid Topology, Xarkin can provide access to additional topologies such QuadToe, QuadTipToe, QuadHeelToe and DinoBird.

Xarkin can also design support for custom topologies.

Xarkin works with animators to provide armatures and simulators that represent the target class of characters. Next, the required parameterized motion models will be implemented. The armature, simulator and parameterized motion models act as a Universal Foundation Agent.

Robotics: Motion, Simulation and Control

Xarkin can work with robotics engineers to design an articulated assembly and a simulator for a specific robotics project.

Once in place, required motion models for the robot will be constructed. From this, selecting and combining motion models will provide motion, simulation and control data; torques and forces, at work in the assembly.

Since the design of a Digital Twin includes a mass profile, any engineering changes made to assembly segments can be tested. Additional tests under load can also be provided. Due to Xarkin's universal motion format, any changes in the length, mass and/or center of mass for a segment/part can be tested with the existing motion sequences with immediate results available.

How we work.

Initial Call

An initial conference call is a useful first step.
This allows Xarkin to learn more about your requirements. In turn, you can learn about Xarkin's capabilities.
If both parties agree to proceed, Xarkin will work on an initial statement of work.

Statement of Work (SOW)

Based upon the requirements discussion, Xarkin will provide a draft SOW for review.
An initial SOW of limited scope if often undertaken to minimize initial investment. As well, a deliverable can be presented in a reasonable period of time.

Deliverable Presented

The initial and subsequent SOW's end with the presentation of deliverables.
After the initial SOW, custiomer will have a better appreciation of the capabilities of Xarkin and our approach.
Continuing with reasonably short SOW's leads to faster outcomes and fewer course corrections.
