Selected from more than 250 applicants across over 60 countries, this recognition highlights Duality's work producing meaningful progress across data engines, simulation, and field deployment.

“Fine-Tuning YOLOv8 for Accurate Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Detection with Digital Twin Simulation”, written in collaboration with the U.S. Army’s Ground Combat Systems Advanced Capabilities Team, demonstrates how synthetic data from high-fidelity digital twin simulation can dramatically improve AI model performance for counter-UAS systems. Paper was presented at the 2025 Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering & Technology Symposium.

Collaborating on the DARPA ASIMOV program, teams will leverage digital twin simulation as part of a novel approach for benchmarking AI’s alignment with established ethics principles.

In the DARPA ASIMOV program, teams will employ digital twin simulation to develop a new method for evaluating AI’s adherence to ethical standards.

The patented method (Patent No. 12282997) uses contextual input to generate simulation scenarios and digital media by selecting and controlling 3D digital twins of entities, assets, and environments.

The U.S. Army has contracted Duality AI to use its Falcon digital twin simulation platform in developing an AI-based anti-drone detection system for the XM30 infantry vehicle program, enabling faster, more cost-effective deployment through synthetic data with a digital-first approach.

Duality AI CEO, Apurva Shah, speaks on digital twins as a bridge between virtual and physical worlds, allowing industries to test systems safely and efficiently, from autonomous vehicles to smart cities.

New interview with co-founders Apurva Shah and Mike Taylor explores how cutting edge technologies of the entertainment industry are solving the steepest challenges in off-road autonomy and beyond.

“Duality is opening up new ways to create high-quality digital twins by extending FalconEditor with Unreal Editor functionality,” said Bill Clifford, VP of Unreal Engine and Creator Marketplaces at Epic Games. “Engineers and data scientists will be able to use these enhanced features to create massive virtual worlds using AI and robotic systems for digital twin simulation from anywhere, including directly from a web browser.”

Launch introduces FalconEditor and marks a broad update to the Falcon product suite making it the most capable digital twin simulator for AI and automation.

"Duality AI leads the digital twin startup field with cutting-edge solutions for companies globally that want to implement digital twins."

Pushing the envelope of what is possible for off-road autonomy, Duality continues work with the NASA JPL team as speed, scale, and terrain challenges all increase in phase 2.

World Economic Forum notes Duality AI as one of the most promising start-ups to watch globally within the industrial sector for simulation and optimization of the enterprise.

“[Falcon] can simulate challenging scenarios like cluttered forests to test our software and drones,” said [Eric] Amoroso [co-founder and CTO of KEF Robotics]. “This is similar to how simulation can help autonomous vehicles augment safety, with the benefit of being able to deploy different camera configurations and software.”

As an AWS Partner Network member, Duality is bringing Falcon, the state-of-the-art digital twin simulation platform, along with AWS SimSpace Weaver integration, to the wider APN, and making high-fidelity spatial simulation even more accessible.

Real-time digital twin simulations in high-fidelity virtual worlds offer a solution to test AI’s behavior in various scenarios before real-world implementation. This talk explores robotics development, integrating Large Language Models (LLMs), user interactions, and AI model training in virtual environments.

Digital twins are not tied to any single simulation scenario — modularity and reusability is a key reason for adopting digital twin simulation! But how do we create real interoperability that ensures a meaningful and long lasting digital infrastructure? Join Duality AI CEO Apurva Shah to learn about the Digital Twin Encapsulation Standard — an open standard evolved at Duality that enables truly interoperable, simulation-ready digital twins. The Digital Twin Encapsulation Standard: An Open Standard Proposal for Simulation-Ready Digital Twins. 

New release includes product suite expansion with FalconCloud and FalconEditor, new Embodied AI workflows and integrations, and significant inovations in Falcon's virtual sensors.
