…“We are looking at different operating modes, such as teleoperation and autonomous operations, depending on the user's needs at the time,” Gordon said. “We're also looking at combinations of wireless and tethered mode, which is more secure.” How much training will be required? “We want a warfighter to be able to pick up an OCU [optical control unit] and use its graphical user interface and be up and running within five to 15 minutes,” he added. “The goal is to be user-friendly. A lot of these applications take marines and soldiers out of harm's way by having the autonomous sytems…

Ottopia Technologies Ltd. today said that its teleoperation software is now available on the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform. NVIDIA DRIVE is an open, software-defined, end-to-end platform that the transportation industry is using to develop autonomous vehicles at scale. Mission-critical systems such power plants and aircraft require human supervision. Similarly, a human must be in the loop, or present, for most safe autonomous vehicle operations, said Tel Aviv, Israel-based Ottopia. “With Ottopia as an NVIDIA DRIVE ecosystem partner, developers can now access a universal teleoperation option for safe remote monitoring with tight integration to the DRIVE platform,” said Rammy Bahalul, director…

…Guardian GT mobile manipulator, and the Guardian XT for teleoperation. How are they developing? Wolff: The Guardian XT is essentially the upper body of our exoskeleton with some extra dexterity, mounted on rolling or telescoping bases. It's a fascinating opportunity to leverage our technology. Humans have all the perception, and it makes for a very natural, intuitive experience. We did a demonstration of power saws in a bucket truck for trimming trees around utility and power lines. Our teleoperated system can enhance safety, lower cost, and increase the speed at which power-line clearing can be done. The Guardian XT is…

Today's telepresence technologies and teleoperation of remote systems could be stepping stones on the way to robotic avatars that could help with disaster relief, healthcare, space exploration, and more. That's the goal of the $10 million ANA Avatar XPRIZE competition, which announced semifinalist teams earlier this month. Sponsored by All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan's largest airline, the Avatar XPRIZE is a four-year global competition focused on crowdsourcing the development of systems to deploy a human user's senses, actions, and presence to a remote location in real time. The avatars must be able to execute a set of tasks across real-world…
