…(UAVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) 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…

…travel on sidewalks and navigate around obstacles. Computer vision-based navigation helps the robots to map their environment to the nearest inch. Starship said its robots can cross streets, climb curbs, travel day and night, and operate in both rain and snow, said the company. To get started, users open the Starship Deliveries app, choose from a range of their favorite food or drink items, then drop a pin where they want their delivery to be sent. They can then watch as the robot makes its journey to them, via an interactive map. Once the robot arrives, customers receive an alert…
