…industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin Ventures, Johnson Controls, Airbus Ventures, and The Fontinalis Group. Humatics transponder provides specific positioning Humatics described its transponder as an electronic “tag” that is attached to a high-value asset. This enables its location to be digitized with a unique identification and streamed many times per second for real-time positioning. This specific positioning data enables localization, navigation, and collaboration of robots, tooling, surgical instruments, and even humans. The new system enables any control system to receive the precise location of items with the transponders, claimed Humatics. The system is capable of sub-millimeter precision while delivering…
