An Automation Pipeline for Robotics and Animation with USD
In this presentation, Lars Beier, Vitus Pacholleck, and Julius Schöps share how they use Blender as the cornerstone of a 3D pipeline for robotics onboarding, simulation, and animation. They demonstrate how Blender supports automation across multiple workflow stages: from asset preparation and rigging to procedural animation, while integrating with OpenUSD-based platforms. The speakers will highlight practical use cases from industrial pipelines, showcasing both strengths and limitations. Their session illustrates how Blender enables collaboration between engineers and creatives, and why it is an essential tool for connecting robotics simulation with streamlined animation workflows in professional environments.
