Applied Intuition Acquires Reblika to Simulate Human-Vehicle Interaction

• Applied Intuition has acquired Reblika’s technology to create highly detailed, animated digital humans for simulation.
• The avatars will be used to simulate how autonomous systems interact with people in realistic environments.

Applied Intuition, a company that builds simulation tools for autonomous systems, has acquired Reblika, a developer of generative AI for creating 3D digital humans. The deal brings technology that can generate lifelike, animated avatars with diverse physical traits and behaviors. Applied Intuition plans to use these avatars to simulate how autonomous systems interact with people in virtual environments.

The acquisition expands Applied Intuition’s digital human library, which supports simulation-based testing across industries. According to the company, the new capabilities will help model real-world interactions more accurately, especially in edge-case scenarios.

Applied Intuition says the added realism will help customers evaluate perception and behavior in complex environments. The company expects this to support the development of safer autonomous systems at scale.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

This isn’t just a story about avatars, it’s a signal that 3D content is breaking out of the immersive media silo. From synthetic humans to simulated cities and robot training in diverse environments, spatial assets are becoming critical infrastructure for autonomous systems.
