We're pushing the boundaries of autonomous maritime technology. Our in-house SIM-MARINE simulator leverages advanced mathematical models to rapidly test multi-vehicle interactions and ensure COLREG compliance with our Guardian AI© Level 4 autonomy software. We've now taken it a step further with DUALITY, a 4D full-physics environment that allows for both surface and submerged vehicle autonomy simulations, providing unparalleled accuracy. By integrating real-time, real-world data, SIM-MARINE and DUALITY also support Live-Virtual-Constructive test events, making mixed-reality mission profiles more effective than ever. The image below shows an example of our system mapping out vessels, showcasing the advanced capabilities of our simulation tools in real-world scenarios.

The main goal of modelling a Multi-Agent System (MAS) is finding its optimal joint policy, which maximize the collective payoffs of all agents. This can be a complex problem, especially for real-world systems, like heterogenes traffic aiming to ensure safe movements or optimize autonomous driving. Our updated work here: https://lnkd.in/eu4iYbu3 contains a multi-agent simulator with minimum requirements and elegant design, in addition to baselines and a novel multi-step reinforcement learning models, thoroughly evaluated on many relevant criteria, as shown in the video below.

👏🏻 Once again, Festo surprises us with this amazing project from the Bionic Learning Network 🤖 Developments for digitalized, efficient and sustainable automation 🦾 #festobionic #bionicbee 🐝 #hannovermesse #automation #automatizacion #automacion #industrytrends #tendenciasindustriales #industry #industria #festo #engineering #ingenieria

📊 The results are in! Our recent LinkedIn poll showed almost 90% of respondents believe simulators will one day be used as a real-time monitoring tool and a safe test environment for autonomous control systems. “In the time that Tree C has existed, the technology has not stood still. People’s perceptions of what a simulator is, what to expect from one, and how it can be used have changed dramatically. It has become an indispensable tool for crew training and mission preparation.” – Nienke Weder, Director of Operations, Tree C #autonomoussystems #offshoresimulation #simulation #offshoretraining

Lately i have been using the AgileX Limo robot to perform Real Time Autonomous Navigation and Mapping. In the video i have taken below, you can see a demonstration of the robot scanning and exploring our Robot Lab in real time! 😁 Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, also known as SLAM, is a technique that enables a robot or vehicle to construct a map of its environment in real-time while simultaneously determining its own position within that environment.

#Wisk is on its way to first flight! Our path to completion involves many tests, from refining aircraft design to validating autonomous flight capabilities to running autonomous simulations. Here's a short video explaining how it all fits together!

“For autonomous technology to move forward, developers must be able to ensure and demonstrate safety and reliability.” Pilotless flight is one of the more interesting and debated topics in the #aerospace industry that is experiencing surges in innovation due to the injection of human-machine interface, AI, machine learning, and other (literally) space age technologies and technical implementations. Recognizing that consumer adoption of autonomous #aircraft and #VTOL involves overcoming skepticism and fear, developers are fielding incremental solutions to build confidence. Developers plan to extensively verify that the underlying machine learning systems and mechanical architectures can make the right decisions and act in synchronization, at the correct times, to produce the desired #flightsafety (and potentially, survival) outcomes. They understand success must be demonstrated over thousands of hours peppered with hundreds of emergency procedures. They’re doing this because they know consumers will not be “theorized” by aviation experts into blindly accepting safety in these new platforms – especially when safety is arguably the top condition of all phases of flight. Moreover, just because AI allows a computer to process inputs at super-speed, and just because that computer is joined to a flight control system, doesn’t mean that computer can necessarily create equal or better outcomes than its competitive “computer” – that is, the brain in a highly trained aviator. (Think “Sully” and ‘The Miracle on the Hudson’.) Acknowledging those factors, a practice of “human-supervised autonomy” using a remote operator is now being demonstrated as one of the next steps to building confidence that autonomous platforms can overcome the many challenges a skilled human pilot might face in aircraft operation in controlled and uncontrolled airspace. Further, as new and more miniaturized systems are developed to support autonomous operation, #AS9100 quality fabricators like #KLINGERIGI are providing precision parts for electronics #thermalmanagement, actuator #sealing solutions, and more to help developers design components that transform the idea of autonomy into reality. #klinger https://lnkd.in/gqTvbcv4

This comparison is the kind of things we like to see for any new product... Sensor Fusion will be a thing on many fields (e.g. autonomous navigation). https://lnkd.in/dijVFgdn

Get ready for part 3 of the Autonomous Dictionary by Volvo! In this series, we help you better understand autonomy-related words and terms, one post at a time. Today, let’s look at our acronyms GNSS and H2H, and discuss what we mean when we talk about infrastructure. Do you have any words you’d like us to cover? Let us know in the comments! #VolvoAutonomousSolutions #GuidedBySafety #AutonomousDictionary

These UGVs are getting wild. I remember when most of these robotic, autonomous systems looked so clumsy and rigid. Not so much anymore. Seen here is Textron's Ripsaw M3. Check-out these specs 👇 🏋♂️ 5,000lb payload capacity 🏎️ 30mph top speed 🛣️ 180-mile range 🔋 10kW of offload capability https://lnkd.in/djv8pBag
