…Geosun's intellectual property is dedicated to the application of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), INS (inertial navigation systems), and GIS (geographic information system) expertise. The company said it focuses on satellite and integrated navigation positioning. It also develops, produces, and sells lidar scanners, POS systems, and PPK (post-processed kinematic) and RTK (real-time kinematic) equipment. Geosun to use IMUs in lidar scanners Geosun is integrating ACEINNA’s OpenIMU330BI and IMU383 inertial measurement units (IMUs) into lidar systems that are used to help navigate and guide airborne drone systems, especially those used in a variety of construction planning and mapping operations. Geosun's products…

…to perform complex navigation and manipulation tasks in a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)-denied environment. A swarm of UAVs must identify a target vessel from several similar vessels in open waters in a GNSS-denied environment. It must then offload specific items from the target onto an USV in the shortest possible time using autonomous technologies. Morrish said this is a new kind of exercise for robotics. “A nice thing about this challenge is that you tell people what you want, but you don’t specify an approach to do it,” he said. “The very idea of the MBZIRC Maritime Grand Challenge…

…in low-visibility conditions. Cognitive Agro Pilot will include a GNSS high-precision positioning system for steering. This is needed for operations in areas where no visual guidance points are available and farm fields are demarcated, said the company. It also enables automatic interpretation of satellite images, plotting of harvesting patterns, and driving directions, all of which can be corrected by the computer vision system, according to Cognitive Pilot. Cognitive Agro Pilot can transmit progress reports to the messenger apps of tractor owners, as well as telematic data about the state of the machine and progress of work with confirmed photographic and…

…received via antenna from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Cameras mounted around the robots provide 360 degrees of real-time obstacle detection. Otteman said as Scythe’s camera-based machine vision gets more sophisticated, they can rely on it as a complementary data source when satellite coverage might be blocked, such as underneath a tree canopy. Hamilton and Otteman also said ultrasonic sensors are embedded in the M.52 frames for development of the next generation of mowers. As Scythe’s robots autonomously mow, camera images are streamed for logging. Images are also collected from run-in, development, and test robots. “We have an employee…
