…can use pre-recorded driving information and geometric GPS data to accurately navigate a predetermined route. This package ensured that the vehicle was positioned to within 2 cm (0.7 in.) of the impact point. It hit the wall at precisely 130.015 mph (209.238 kph) and was within 1 degree of the prescribed angle. The test used AB Dynamics’ SR60 robot for steering, its CBAR600 for pedals, and its Gearshift Robot. The off-the-shelf products required minimal modification to fit in the vehicle.…

…learning, 360-degree simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), GPS-denied indoor navigation, high-resolution 4K imagery, and ultrasonic object detection for added safety. Qualcomm's latest products also suport 4G LTE, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi in addition to 5G, said Singh in response to a question during the briefing. In addition, it includes support for Linux and the Robot Operating System (ROS). Interest in the RB5 is largely coming in drones and service robots for cleaning, Singh said. He said the reference design could be…

…steer its user. The cane also uses GPS and has additional sensors and other features to help a blind person safely walk from one point to another safely (see video at the end of this article). While it is not the first smart cane in use, it is lightweight, relatively inexpensive, and can be easily made at home, said the Stanford students. The smart cane is an example of how science, engineering, and robotics can come together to solve problems…

…combines its 8R tractor, TruSet-enabled chisel plow, GPS guidance, and additional innovations. The autonomous tractor will be available to farmers later this year. In 1837, John Deere, a blacksmith from Vermont, moved to Illinois, where he found that the local soil stuck to cast-iron plows, noted Jahmy Hindman, chief technology officer of Deere & Co. He invented the first steel plow, and about 150 years later, the company he founded is enabling farmers to do more with less, Hindman said.…
