Large-Scale Exhibit: An Aerial Vehicle Concept Brings Performance-Aided Design to Life

At EMO 2025, Autodesk aims to inspire visitors to design, engineer and make anything. At the Autodesk booth in Hall 6, Stand A46, Autodesk Research presents a large-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) exhibit that brings the concept of performance-aided design to life. Flying vehicles equipped with advanced sensors capture a critical performance data, which is then fed into cloud-based digital twins. These digital twins continuously evolve, providing insights that inform subsequent design iterations. By tackling the complexities of flying vehicle design, Autodesk Research at EMO effectively demonstrates how performance-aided design research excels in solving some of the most challenging engineering problems and set a new standard in the industry.

Bridging the Digital and Physical Worlds in Product Design

A big challenge in product design are costly performance errors in real-world tests. Autodesk Research is addressing this by pioneering a product design process that integrates sensor-collected performance data of existing products into new designs. By incorporating performance data into cloud-based digital twin workflows, this process helps automate product design iterations, integrating real-world users’ operational data, setting the stage for a performance-aided design approach that bridges the gap between design and performance, creating more responsive, adaptive products. The growing duality of digital and physical representations of these living products, powered by computation, sensing, and actuation, will ultimately blur the difference between them.

“At Autodesk, we recognize the critical importance of aligning virtual product designs with real-world performance,", says Stephen Hooper, Vice President of Design & Manufacturing at Autodesk. “Integrating sensor-collected performance data into our design workflows revolutionizes how we predict and enhance product behavior. This synergy of digital twin technology with operational insights enables us to create more adaptive, intelligent products that excel in real-world conditions, driving innovation and efficiency in the manufacturing industry.”

Opening Keynote: Leveraging AI for Industrial Machinery and Engineering

The trade fair kicks off on Monday, September 22 with an opening keynote by Stephen Hooper on the EMO Innovation Stage (Sep 22, 12-12.45pm, Hall 12, Stand A60). In his talk and a subsequent fireside chat, Stephen Hooper outlines how companies in industrial machinery and engineering can digitize and automate their production workflows effectively, utilizing artificial intelligence.
