…include Aeva Technologies, Arbe Robotics, AEye, Innoviz, Luminar Technologies, Ouster, Quanergy, and Velodyne Lidar. In the race to autonomous vehicles, such deals provide an injection of capital with the expectation of high valuations being validated by automaker demand. The definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents were mailed to Growth Capital’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on or about Jan. 25, 2022. Growth Capital has engaged Advantage Proxy Inc. as its proxy solicitor in connection with the special meeting. Stockholders who need additional copies of proxy materials, need to obtain proxy cards, or have questions regarding…

…includes the NVIDIA DRIVE platform for perception system processing, Ouster’s high-resolution lidar sensors for perception, and Yaskawa’s industrial robot arm for connecting and disconnecting trailer lines. Outrider has designed an autonomy-ready electric yard truck with Orange EV. The company and its customers have purchased 24 of these vehicles for expanded customer pilots and tests with the latest autonomy kit. “This is the single largest purchase of Class 8 electric vehicles specifically designed for autonomous yard operations in the industry and demonstrates how Outrider will be a catalyst for bringing thousands of zero-emission vehicles into the marketplace,” claimed Tom Baroch, head…

…do not damage façades, said Blum. A lidar from Ouster maps façades, even when they are transparent or reflective. “It's able to filter out noise from the sun's position and localize where each window exists,” he explained. “It then tells the robot to go clean betweeen the lines.” Beneath the robot arm is compute and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) so that it can react in real time to environmental conditions such as gusts of wind. The path planning recalculates 250 times per second for basket stabilization, Blum said. Skyline Robotics' OZMO uses a KUKA robot arm. Source: KUKA Funding…

…DriveMod, which was first announced in June, said Cyngn. The company's OEM partners include BYD, Columbia, and Motrec, and Ouster provides digital lidar technology. “People are still discovering how our tools can make operations more efficient—they're not just replacing human workers,” said Landen. “What makes us special is our ability to adapt our autonomy tech to different technology types, different OEMs, and different industries.” Landen said Cyngn is aiming to begin deliveries to customers in 2024. Cyngn and Arauco said they plan to jointly expand DriveMod across sites and use cases, further increasing Arauco’s autonomous fleet in the coming years.

…has also been some market consolidation, as seen in Ouster's acquisition of Sense Photonics. David Chen, co-founder and head of engineering at Orbbec, shared with Robotics 24/7 his ambitions for the Troy, Mich.-based company's technology to fill the void left by Intel RealSense. How compatible is Orbbec's technology with existing products using Intel's RealSense? Is some customization necessary? Chen: RealSense cameras powered by semi-global matching [SGM] based stereovision technology have been a popular choice with good accuracy and reasonable computation time. It’s a good and reliable choice for certain scenarios. However, Orbbec has cameras powered by SGM, structured-light, time-of-flight [ToF],…

…render accurate data from RTX-simulated sensors, including those from Ouster and Hesai, in real time. For instance, “in the case of an RTX-simulated lidar, ray tracing provides more accurate sensor data under various lighting conditions or in response to reflective materials.” said NVIDIA. The company said it has added capabilities to Isaac Gym for reinforcement learning and Isaac Cortex for cobot programming. In addition, the new Isaac ORBIT tool provides simulated operating environments and benchmarks for robot learning and motion planning. “What was research a year or two ago will bleed into production,” Andrews said. “This is a real feature-rich…
