…an emergency situation, they can be controlled remotely through teleoperation. PIT and xBridge host Future Travel Experience conference Vijay said Ottonomy has a very active engagement with PIT through xBridge. “We ran the robots last year, and now we are working with them to unlock some other use cases within the airport.” He added xBridge helps Ottonomy explore potential applications by bringing together different companies. “There's so many possibilities there, and it's difficult to do all by ourselves,” he said. One scenario xBridge helped Ottonomy test out was mounting a beer dispenser from Cooler Keg and credit card reader on…

…of heavy equipment with its technology that enables both teleoperation and supervised autonomy of machines. Supervised autonomy and teleoperation keeps trucks moving Tomahawk recently became the first customer to get Teleo’s autonomous capabilities on their machines. When machines are set to autonomous mode, they can perform routine and repetitive tasks on their own, like hauling materials from one point to another. If there are any complex tasks that the autonomous technology cannot yet fully handle, the machine waits for a remote operator to take over. Tomahawk machine operator Max Bogacz remotely operates three Teleo-equipped ADTs on the Naples jobsite, simultaneously,…
