Fantastic profile on Heba Khamis from Contactile by Natasha Gillezeau in Missing Perspectives. So much to unpack about her journey but I love this reference to being a Cicada Innovations resident.... "What an incredible resource, and the collisions that can happen. " [Natasha] "So the problem is - I usually only leave the office to go to the bathroom - and I often run into people on the way to the bathroom. The timing is hilarious. " [Heba] I'm pretty sure she's talking about running into me on those bathroom breaks and the long conversations that follow 😁 Love those collisions Heb and what you're building. https://lnkd.in/g9qwsan4

Australian soldiers trial robots to protect our borders "Soldiers from the Australian Army’s Regional Force Surveillance Group (RFSG) Pilbara Regiment are trialling an uncrewed robot. The Ground Uncrewed System, known as GUS, is an Australian-developed surveillance robot. GUS is equipped with cameras and sensors capable of providing persistent surveillance for more than 30 continuous days using battery power. An on-board liquid fuel generator recharges the battery when it is low to extend GUS’s mission endurance even further. Director-General Future Land Warfare, Brigadier James Davis, said the Australian Army is committed to developing capabilities that exploit new and emerging technologies. “Placing this equipment in the hands of the end users such as RFSG allows us to learn by doing with all the challenges of tasks and the environment” Brigadier Davis said. ..."
