…indoors and are equipped with a remote monitoring and teleoperation system that allows for instantaneous human override if necessary, helping to ensure service levels are high. The Cartken autonomous delivery robots are fitted with multiple cameras and respond to situations in real-time using a combination of machine learning and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)-based navigation algorithms. The company was formed in 2019 by a group of former Google employees who worked on Bookboot, which TechCrunch describes as a “robot created within the company's Area 120 incubator for experimental products.” Cartken's autonomous delivery robot fleet is in commercial operation and has…

…and operators in robotics, factory and warehouse automation, and teleoperations where low latency and ease of use are critical,” the company said in a product page describing the PAL USB. The vision systems use NVIDIA’s Jetson NX Carrier Board GPUs. Rajat Aggarwal, CEO of DreamVu, said NVIDIA’s chips have helped the company take advantage of more sophisticated software to better take advantage of artificial intelligence. Robots that can only take advantage of CPUs from Intel are more limited power-wise, Aggarwal said. Those limitations can pose problems since a good vision system needs a robust amount of data to work well.…

…system; the Cyngn Insight customer-facing suite of fleet management, teleoperation, and analytics tools; and the Cyngn Evolve internal toolkit that uses data from the field for AI, simulation, and modeling. The company described DriveMod as a “full-stack,” proprietary, “all-in-one autonomy integration package” that enables the conversion of standard industrial vehicles to fully autonomous vehicles by using sensors, computers, and AI. The software can be installed on new vehicles off the assembly line or retrofitted into existing vehicles, Cyngn noted. It claimed that the DriveMod Kit enables customers to adopt self-driving technology into their operations without high upfront costs or the…

…developing haptic gloves and sensors for virtual reality, robotic teleoperation, and other applications. HaptX claimed that its technology “simulates touch sensation with unprecedented realism.” Unlike other haptic gloves, which are limited to vibration and force feedback, HaptX Gloves physically displace the user's skin the way a real object would, said the company. More than 130 points of tactile feedback per hand enable natural interaction and true-contact haptics, it added. The proceeds from this round fund commercialization of next-generation products building on the success of HaptX's award-winning HaptX Gloves DK2, said the company. Fortune 500 companies and governments around the world…
