Kynapse is the artificial intelligence (AI) middleware product, developed by Kynogon, which was bought by Autodesk in 2008 and called Autodesk Kynapse. In 2011, it was re-engineered and rebranded as Autodesk Navigation.
Since the discontinuation of Autodesk Gameware, the product is obsolete.
Kynapse was used in the development of more than 80 game titles, including Mafia II, Crackdown, Alone in the Dark 5, Fable II, Medal of Honor: Airborne, Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, Watchmen: The End Is Nigh, Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar and the Unreal Engine. Kynapse was also used by companies such as EADS, BAE Systems or Électricité de France to develop military or industrial simulation systems.
