…ensure they can withstand high levels of shock, vibration, solar interference, water, and dust while reliably providing high-quality data. Powered by the L2X chip, the company said its sensors will provide even richer point-cloud data, enabling them to detect objects through environmental obscurants such as rain, fog, dust, snow, and even a wired fence. “Ouster sensors must be able to perform in real-world operating conditions across hundreds of use cases,” said Mark 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…

…developing autonomous path-planning programs and have been focused on solar installation applications. While their approaches to working on those projects may have been done differently, they are more or less aligned. Together, those kinds of projects will now have even more support, and the companies will be able to bring products to market faster, she said. Pedersen said he is excited to see the teams work together and solve problems. “When you bring these two disparate engineering teams together and you bring new perspectives together, that’s when you’re going to see the light bulb go off, and people say, ‘Wow,…

…to cover more area, it's harder to charge the solar batteries. By going a bit slower, Solix can keep going at night and then maybe faster during the day. We're also connecting the robot to other systems, such as harvesters and stationary sprayers. Now that we're ocnnected, the farmer could trigger a ground sprayer or send a robot to the corner of the field. It seems simple, but it's not. We have our own onboard computers and controllers to manage our own operations, and we needed to train our machinery about how to schedule things. Perhaps the farmers want more…
