*Edited to Update Video* Cameras do a lot for us—selfies, landscapes, even enabling semi-autonomous robots. But measuring true distances? Still a challenge. Enter the DARPA Computational Imaging Detection and Ranging (CIDAR) Challenge: a bold step to fuse three critical dimensions—spatial, spectral, and temporal data—into one cohesive imaging system. 📸🚀 Join us in pushing the boundaries of what cameras can do. Dive into the challenge here: cidar.darpa.mil

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) innovations like CIDAR will allow the United States to continue to advance the INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE that will power the 21st-century economy. Industry 4.0 is driving a resurgence of manufacturing, infrastructure, and construction. Many Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) innovations are dual-use and critical for defense and civil systems. https://lnkd.in/g8mwUe3C The Autonomy Institute, infrastructure investors, Federal Infrastructure Bank, and partners are accelerating commercial integrations.

The CIDAR Challenge is a visionary step in pushing the boundaries of imaging technology. It represents not just an incremental improvement but a potential paradigm shift in how we collect and process visual information. By integrating spatial, spectral, and temporal dimensions, DARPA is paving the way for innovations that could transform defense, science, and industry.

Great to be involved at FIMA – Forum for Intelligent Machines Ry The snowy backdrop was a fitting reminder of why all-weather, all-condition sensors, like our Navtech Radar, are vital. We had a fantastic time discussing the benefits of radar technology, showcasing our solutions, and hearing about the exciting projects in development. It was especially rewarding to see the RAS3 resonating with attendees, highlighting the importance of developer-friendly radars for mission-critical automation applications. While we were among competitors, the event underscored the collective importance of working together to promote radar technology's role in delivering safe, efficient and precise automation. If you're curious about how our RAS3 radar could enhance your upcoming projects, don't hesitate to reach out.

Want to see how companies are looking to leverage robotics going into 2025? Here’s your big chance!

🎉"Most read feature" is a title that delights anyone in PR :-) Case studies continue some of the most popular content that we produce. This Universal Robots case study from WST Fab, LLC really resonated with the readers of Modern Application News, detailing a scenario familiar to many in the metalworking industry: You get a new machine, dedicate it to a product - that your customer then suddenly cancels. What to do? This is where flexible automation enables a company to pivot - find out how 👇

Laser-guided Precision ⭕ Ever wondered how our robots are able to accurately locate their position on a site? The short answer: Lasers! The guiding station and Lionel are constantly communicating via WiFi telemetry, but just before each Lionel robot positions itself to mark it double-checks its position with a laser distance measurement from the guiding station. This allows Lionel to achieve consistent accuracy of 3 - 5mm Learn more about Lionel's technology here: augustrobotics.com/lionel 🌐 Learn more about Lionel: https://lnkd.in/gRugqYNr 📞 Book a demo: https://lnkd.in/gWUagJDT #exhibitions #floormarking
