…Frichtl, chief technology officer of Ouster. “Whether it’s a robotaxi driving on a foggy morning, an excavator operating in a dusty construction zone, or a last-mile delivery robot navigating through a steam vent on a NYC sidewalk, our sensors must not only be mechanically reliable and robust, but also reliably output high-quality data.” “With the new L2X chip, Ouster has achieved another key milestone on its product roadmap with the ability to reliably detect objects behind obscurants,” he said. “We designed the new L2X chip to perform better within all types of weather conditions, further demonstrating the inherent advantage of…

…firm Aptiv in 2020. Motional is currently testing its robotaxi service on U.S public roads and plans to begin commercial service in 2023. HMG said it will actively support Motional to make the driverless technology more safe, reliable, and accessible to customers in the U.S. and other parts of the world. HMG said it will cooperate with U.S. partners in areas to accelerate the efforts to bring driverless technology into reality. Supernal helps support advanced air mobility Hyundai is also developing technologies and infrastructure for advanced air mobility. HMG launched Washington D.C.-based Supernal last year to strengthen its AAM capabilities.…

…also partnered with Motional Inc. on the IONIQ 5 robotaxi. Boston Dynamics, Hyundai envision collaborative future Boston Dynamics, which Hyundai acquired last year, demonstrated its Spot quadruped robot and Atlas humanoid robot at CES 2022. Spot can collect data for inspection, construction, and security, and Atlas has demonstrated human-level agility. Hyundai showed Spot working with Logistics Mobility for last-mile delivery. Waltham, Mass.-based Boston Dynamics is also developing the Stretch robotic arm for palletizing and depalletizing. Hyundai and Boston Dynamics are already taking mobility beyond human physical limitations, said Marc Raibert, founder and chairman of Boston Dynamics. Together, they envision a…

…application areas are increasing, especially in self-driving cars and robotaxis, military supply chain and logistics, and last-mile delivery. Similarly, the use of robots is increasing across a diverse set of industries such as healthcare, space exploration, and construction. The rapid development in technology, coupled with increasing usage of robotics, is sure to continue attracting investment. Self-driving cars, COVID-19 shape robotics We've talked before about the potential for robotics in general to benefit from the money currently pouring into AV development. Have you seen any of that happen yet? Sharma: The field of robotics has immense application in the development of…

…lot of focus on autonomous vehicles for applications from robotaxis to autonomous ships,” Emelyanov told Robotics 24/7. “We selected fields where we think we could get more reliable advantages in terms of business strategy.” “We analyzed prospective applications and found that agriculture is the most promising for several key points,” he explained. “The ratio of autonomy to the total price of the vehicle—about 5%—could be quite appropriate for economic models and ultimately profitable for end users.” “A second point is that agriculture is easier in terms of regulations,” acknowledged Emelyanov. “We're in the market right away with our product. Companies…

…terrestrial roboticists include autonomous delivery fleets, unmanned rovers, and robotaxis over the next five years, leading to a wider $120 billion market opportunity. Integrating drones into the national airspace falls on the lap of NASA's Star Ginn, who is actively working to turn the promise of efficiency into actionable steps towards full autonomy. “We have this roadmap right now at NASA to start closing the loop on the system where machines and machines are negotiating that sort of scale, and we will just keep adding more complex situations,” explained Ginn. “So It’s not just to show it works on a…
