…doing so on rough terrain is even more challenging. Stratom Inc. last week announced a successful field demonstration of its patented ATLAS autonomous pallet loader, or APL, vehicle. Stratom said it designed ATLAS to be lighter and more compact than traditional forklifts. The Boulder, Colo.-based company said the APL can efficiently and rapidly transfer oversized cargo and operate within confined locations. While transferring pallets across docks is cumbersome with a conventional forklift, Stratom said ATLAS uses its proprietary powered rollers to streamline cargo transfer from the forks to racks, vehicles, and aircraft. ATLAS can be pre-programmed with repeatable operations or…

Stratom this week announced the U.S. Army has awarded the company a contract to develop a personnel safety system for an unmanned combat vehicle called the Robotic Combat Vehicle-Light, or RCV-L. The unmanned diesel-electric hybrid vehicle was developed by Waltham, Mass.-based QinetiQ Group North America, a division of Farnborough, U.K.-based QinetiQ, and New Hudson Mich.-based Pratt Miller, according to the publication Army Technology. The two defense companies won the U.S. Army’s RCV-L prototype project in March 2020. The government is expected to start the manufacturing and development phase of RCV-L in 2023. The vehicle will be designed to be used…

…of ROS 1, is set to end in 2025. Stratom this week announced that it is part of a team that was chosen to deliver Stage II of the Modular Autonomy and Robotic Software, or MARS, program. The MARS program involves the collaborative migration of Robotic Technology Kernel (RTK) software modules from ROS into ROS 2. “With ROS being officially deprecated in 2025, this collaborative migration is essential to equip the DoD and the entire ground-vehicle robotics industry with a set of common robotic capabilities across a variety of platforms and programs to succeed in the ground vehicles space for…

Last week, Stratom announced that the U.S. Army had awarded it a contract to develop an autonomous ground vehicle refueling (AGVR) prototype to integrate into a Palletized Load System (PLS) flat rack for autonomous convoy operations. The automation of logistics functions can help improve security, optimize efficiency, and save costs, said the Boulder, Colo.-based company. “Convoys are the No. 1 target overseas, which is why the Army is exploring autonomous vehicles as a way to reduce the number of soldiers needed to run these operations,” stated Mark Gordon, president and CEO of Stratom. “By empowering humans to stay focused on…
