KEF Robotics’ Post

Heads up! Be on the lookout for cutting-edge robotics at the 2024 Texas Public Safety Robotics Summit (TXPSROBOTS) held at Reveille Peak Ranch in Burnet, Texas, March 4 - 7! TXPSROBOTS is the destination for public safety professionals to learn and experience the latest robotics technology capabilities for first responders and public safety professionals. Discover how the application of robotics is transforming operations, enhancing emergency response and situational awareness, and improving disaster management. With presentations from industry leaders, demonstrations of the latest robotic systems, and hands-on workshops, public safety professionals will gain invaluable insights and practical knowledge. Darley’s innovative tactical command vehicle (TCV), integrates modern communications technologies to provide constant connectivity for first responders and their mission-critical needs in the remotest areas. Darley has partnered with leading solutions providers such as Microsoft, DroneSense, IP Access, Stealth Power, and others for its various capabilities. Uniquely, the TCV can allow an operator to remotely control various unmanned systems in hazardous environments from a safe distance away from the vehicle without having to step outside. Remember, the future of public safety starts with us. By leveraging the latest technologies in robotics, there's no limit to what can be achieved. Darley is proud to continue to support and sponsor the Texas Public Safety Robotics Summit and we’re excited to see you there. #TxPublicSafetyRoboticsSummit #TXPSROBOTS #RoboticsRevolution #FutureOfSafety #Innovation #Collaboration

Greensea IQ has celebrated the 25,000 square foot expansion of its Cordage Park production facility. Read more >> https://hubs.ly/Q026yJHB0 This new expansion establishes a manufacturing center for the production of several navigation and robotics systems including the Bayonet Ocean Vehicles (a product of Greensea IQ) line of surf zone crawlers, EverClean (a service of Greensea IQ) hull cleaning robots, RNAV3 diver navigation systems, and OPENSEA Edge autonomy hardware. The new facility will support the planned growth and worldwide expansion of our robotics-as-a-service program, EverClean, while it gains adoption as fleet owners work to meet increasingly demanding carbon emissions requirements and increased hull performance throughout the cruise and shipping industries. Plymouth will also allow us to quickly scale to meet demand for the new Bayonet line of AUGVs as we start delivering the platform to defense and commercial customers for use in near shore MCM, EOD, UXO and surf zone survey applications.” - Greensea IQ Chief Growth Officer Rob Howard.

Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States have successfully demonstrated the integration of advanced autonomy and #artificialintelligence (AI) to test the resilience of autonomous assets in a contested environment. Conducted in South Australia in late 2023, the Trusted Operation of Robotic Vehicles in a Contested Environment (TORVICE) trial combined Australian, UK and US #innovation and technology to test leading edge #AI in uncrewed robotic vehicles. Dr Shane Canney, #DSTG Chief Land and Integrated Force, said interoperability with #AUKUS partners supports Defence Australia to maintain its strategic military edge.

Trends in Unmanned Systems and Defense Robotics with UXV Technologies: Modular Innovation for Next-Generation Unmanned Vehicles Dual-use technologies are driving significant advancements in defense robotics. How can these innovations be effectively adopted, and what role does modularity play in rapidly and efficiently scaling unmanned systems and autonomy? To explore these important questions, Frederik Bergenfelt Friis of UXV Technologies recently engaged in an insightful discussion with Jaret C. Riddick, PhD, Senior Fellow at Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET). Discover the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/d-qf6e_U

#AUKUS I Defense scientists from Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States collaboratively tested a range of robotic vehicles and their sensors during a trial at Cultana Training Area, South Australia. The Trusted Operation of Robotic Vehicles in a Contested Environment (TORVICE) trial was conducted to identify and resolve vulnerabilities faced by autonomous systems in a congested electronic warfare environment. "Understanding how robotic vehicles react in contested environments accelerates our collective know-how and helps improve the system to overcome such attacks" More: https://lnkd.in/eT5MPkcB https://lnkd.in/gT5NyWJq Defence Australia United States Department of Defense UK Ministry of Defence

- A drone equipped with LiDAR will inspect #offshorewind turbines, looking for fractures in blades. - Automated flight patterns over and around a large port will capture imagery data needed to track and manage container movements, even using AI to collect marking values. - A small unmanned aircraft with an ultrasonic thickness meter on an arm will be able to provide rapid hull survey datasets, enabling fleets to be assessed in a matter of days. Today's maritime cadets will no doubt be using unmanned aircraft in tomorrows workforce, so it only makes sense that American Robotics shows some of the industries leading edge capabilities at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. It's not a question of "if". Heck, it's starting to not even be a question of "when". The only question I find myself asking these days is "why isn't everyone as I am excited about this technology benefiting these applications?!"

Spot on -Missing the interdisciplinary nature of robotics and enacting platform centric models for systems integration leads to thinking a leaner force is an outcome. The initial manpower outlay to properly enact a capabilities centric approach is scary to senior leadership. “As I have seen in Ukraine and have observed in other theaters, the introduction of robotic and autonomous systems into the force is liable to increase both the number of people and the diversity of skills necessary within the force.” https://lnkd.in/eWmyYC6K

The launch of the larger DJI system released earlier this year was a shot across the bows of the industry of what was to come, however the overall ingenuity and package price of Dock 2 is simply unbeatable. This DJI product / is a combined service in a single box that seemingly eliminates every aspect of the Aether Global Innovations Corporation Global Innovations Corporation business model. I'm deeply concerned for the good people of idroneimages - IDIPLOYER https://lnkd.in/e9AmV42f Likewise outside of federal applications in the USA, it's going to be interesting to see how this impacts the amazing Skydio offering. It's not all bad news this news, launch is tremendous news for the mission of Energy Robotics Protegimus Protection Ltd Protection Ltd and the amazing ongoing industry leading AERODYNE GROUP. Can't wait to see this in action and how it reshapes the industry.
