SpirOps
SpirOps is a middleware development team focused on artificial intelligence issues. Their ultimate goal is to allow video games and simulations development teams to enter what we call “the Living Game era”. To design more realistic behaviors with a never reached complexity, the SpirOps team had to develop a new artificial intelligence design paradigm called “Drive Oriented”. This paradigm allows to design artificial intelligence with graphical tools, and to keep a linear complexity along the brain creation process. To learn more, please visit www.spirops.com.
PathEngine
PathEngine provides a sophisticated toolkit for agent movement, built around an advanced points-of-visibility pathfinding core. This gives you powerful paired path planning and collision against a sophisticated, continuous space, pathfinding movement model, with robust integrated dynamic obstacle functionality and exact representation of agent shape, for seamless movement over overlapping ground geometry.

Artificial Technology
We bring bytes alive! This is the vision and motivation that drives Artificial Technology GmbH. Graphically, many computer games already emulate the real world quite faithfully.
The behavior of the characters, on the other hand, is often less authentic. EKI One Middleware (emotional & artificial intelligence) is a new solution by Artificial Technology GmbH which allows game developers to bestow on their characters with emotional behavior.
