The story
Algoryx's first product was AgX Dynamics, a multifunctional physics engine for simulators in industrial applications, prepared both for use together with CAD tools and with game engines such as Unity3D.
A later product is Algodoo, an elementary school physics simulation program based on the 2-dimensional physics engine Phun, the first versions of which were written as a thesis by Emil Ernerfeldt, then a student of engineering computer science at the university. The first version of Algodoo was launched on August 31, 2009, and in 2013 the program was released as free to download versions for Windows, Mac and iOS (iPad).
In the spring of 2015, an office was also opened in Munich, Germany, after the company, among other things, concluded an agreement with German Rheinmetall on simulators for cranes and vehicles.
In the autumn of 2017, Algoryx began a collaboration with the Japanese research institute National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology to develop simulation technology for robots to be used in the cleanup work around the Fukushima nuclear power plant, which was destroyed in a 2011 earthquake.
