…to twice the distance of conventional lidar sensors. 4D Localization: Estimate vehicle motion in real-time with six degrees of freedom for accurate positioning and navigation without the need for additional sensors, like IMU or GPS. Aeries II is the first sensor on the market to integrate Aeva’s lidar-on-chip technology, the Mountain View, Calif.-based company said. It integrates all key sensor components including transmitters, receivers, and optics onto a compact silicon photonics module. This design uses no fiber optics, resulting in a highly automated manufacturing process that allows Aeva to manufacture at scale and lower costs to meet the needs of…

…successfully. We talk about path planning. We talk about localization and so on. At the end of the semester, students have kind of seen the gamut of different algorithms that an autonomous vehicle needs to navigate successfully. You work with students who are far along in their education and understand they want to go into robotics, but it seems the whole point of National Robotics Week is to speak to a younger audience. What advice would you have for students thinking about going into robotics as a career but are still young and trying to figure out what it is…

…“The technology stack includes everything from pre-processing, sensor fusion, localization data, and decision making to the actuator system,” Gershman told Robotics 24/7. “We built the sensor and reference camera system and the perception stack for that sensor-specific interpretation of the data. We can get a true 3D response from 2D images, and we've built a high-definition digital thermal sensor.” The CNN builds a disparity map, like stereo vision, in which the pixel disparity is converted to depth measurement, he explained. Owl's API can convert data sets for sensor fusion, but the company is not building perception systems or bounding boxes,…

…of Capra and founder of Mobile Industrial Robots. “Traditional localization sensors either work indoors or outdoors – but not both. Combining both capabilities into a low-cost, compact and robust system is a key aspect of our strategy to deliver mobile robotics solutions to the untapped ‘interlogistics’ market.” RGo Robotics said it has completed comprehensive field trials in challenging indoor and outdoor environments. The company also noted that it would continued its commercial momentum with new customers. The design wins are with market-leading robot OEMs across multiple vertical markets ranging from logistics and industrial autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), forklifts, outdoor machinery…

…visibility to move quickly and leverage benchmarks. For simulation, we're setting up thousands of benchmarks for navigation, mapping, and localization so BrainOS robots can move with confidence. You've been CTO since December 2022; what are some of your goals in your new role? Cannon: I'm keeping them to myself for now, but I want to keep our team focused. We know what we need to execute on this year, and there are lots of cool, shiny things [in the robotics space].

…S4971 at ProMat. The LilBuddy AMR uses natural-feature simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) guidance to move loads up to 220 lb. (100 kg) without tape, reflectors, or tags for flexibility, it said. The company added that LilBuddy has a 17 x 17-in. base, making it is one of the smallest AMRs in the industry. The vehicle’s size and ability to rotate 360 degrees make it suitable for congested environments with narrow aisles, according to ResGreen. In addition, it will show the BotWay interoperable traffic management and monitoring software. BotWay can control AGVs, AMRs, and industrial automation, even devices from other…
