…anything — from radiation levels to landmines. Trimble Construction (surveying) When it comes to unpredictable, unstructured, and multi-leveled work environments, construction sites rank near the top of the list. That’s why our four-legged robotic friends are already being put to a variety of uses in the world of construction. One of these uses revolves around oversight and surveying. Legged robots can traverse a construction site and survey terrain, snap images using high definition cameras, and build out 3D maps, providing…

…round. CNH Industrial, At One Ventures, and Trimble Ventures provided additional individual and independent contributions. Monarch Tractor closed its $20 million Series A round in March, and began its first deployment at Wente Vineyards in April. “Monarch is transforming what is arguably the most important vehicle on the planet: tractors,” said Hendrik Van Asbroeck, a partner at Astanor Ventures. “Tractors emit 14x more [carbon emissions] than a car, and have not seen the same wave of digital innovation as we…

…so it performs safely and as planned? Trimble faced this challenge when it started building plans to deploy the Spot robot in a variety of indoor settings and construction environments. Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Trimble needed to tune the machine learning (ML) models to the exact indoor environments so Boston Dynamics' quadruped could autonomously operate in these different indoor settings. “As we deploy Spot equipped with our data-collection sensors and field-control software to indoor environments, we need to develop a cost effective…

…it is working with machine controls provider Trimble Inc. to explore new applications for its short-wave infrared sensors. The companies will collaborate to enable TriEye's systems to operate in all weather and lighting conditions. The goal is to provide autonomous vehicles and robots with visual perception to detect potential hazards. Tel Aviv, Israel-based TriEye is a fabless semiconductor company developing complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensors. Its technology enables high-definition imaging under common low-visibility conditions. Founded in 2017, the…
