NICO AI

NICO AI for Constructive Simulation uses AI to make constructive simulations smarter and easier to use.

Using natural language or text inputs, users can generate VR-Forces scenarios and mission plans, no scripting required. AI-powered agents inside the MAK ONE environment can interact naturally with human trainees, replacing live role players with voice-driven intelligent crewmates.

Introducing NICO AI for Constructive Simulation

Build complex scenarios, monitor and control multiple entities with ease.  

MAK Technologies evolved NICO from an early concept to a practical training tool. When integrated into VR-Forces, NICO AI powers intelligent behaviors like enemy tactics and radio chatter, delivering scalable, adaptive training for any command level.

NICO AI with MAK ONE Showing Meta AI Behaviors

NICO AI drives intelligent, adaptive behaviors within the MAK ONE simulation environment. Watch as NICO interprets mission plans, assigns tasks, and adapts to operational constraints, demonstrating high-level decision-making that enhances realism and reduces manual scenario scripting.

NICO AI in a VR-Forces Scenario

Here's how we're using the flexibility of MAK ONE to prototype intelligent CGF behaviors powered by NICO AI, reducing operator workload and showing what AI-enabled training could look like.



Innovative Integration of Technologies

Speech Recognition and Synthesis

Advanced algorithms accurately transcribe user input into text, enabling virtual avatars to understand and interpret the nuances of human speech patterns, including accents, dialects, and variations in tone and inflection.

High-fidelity text-to-speech capabilities accurately replicate the rhythm, intonation, and cadence of human speech, enabling Nico to respond with realistic speech patterns that are indistinguishable from those of a human speaker in hundreds of languages, including multilingual translations. 

Large Language Models (LLMs)

Offline secure versions of LLMs generate highly detailed, coherent, context-specific text-based responses to user input allowing virtual avatars to respond with nuanced and sophisticated answers that are tailored to the specific context of the conversation.
