…fly autonomously through warehouses with no GPS, WiFi or infrastructure changes needed. The machine learning algorithm analyzes inventory pictures and is able to read and interpret barcodes, lot codes, text, expiration dates, case counts and occupancy information. Gather says this data is exactly what warehouse operators need to compare the real-time physical inventory with what is digitally stored in the warehouse management system (WMS). Now, any Bosma employee trained to use the technology can participate in the cycle counting and inventory management processes, as Gather AI’s accessible offering contains voiceover and screen magnification capabilities. The voiceover function allows the operator…

…such as agriculture, oil and gas, renewable energy, and infrastructure and construction to adopt more drones, fully autonomous flights are necessary, it said. Key to these operations are the use and FAA acceptance of innovative safety technologies, such as long-range detect-and-avoid (DAA) sensors and software-enabled automation, said American Robotics. It added that the FAA's UAS BVLOS Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) “will be a key step towards the future of the commercial drone industry.” Other committee members include Kirkland, Wash.-based radar maker Echodyne Corp. “We look forward to sharing our insights with the broader commercial drone community and the FAA, and…

…connected vehicle design. “AV, connected vehicles, and intelligent transportation infrastructure are among the six areas where we are focusing our energy and resources to identify startup companies that want to innovate,” says Oshoma Momoh, chief technical advisor at MaRS. While most startups leverage CAD for design, the need to expand the tools portfolio in areas like software and data management is critical, especially for the design of highly complex products like AV, where iteration and validation is continuous and very difficult to do in a physical prototyping environment, Momoh explains. “With autonomous vehicles, there is a huge amount of safety…
