…into a stand-alone module called PFF follow, which can be integrated on other machines or robots. Guests at the Trimble Dimensions+ User Conference at The Venetian Las Vegas last week previewed how the PFF following technology can support their businesses. In addition to PFF pro tools and robots, Piaggio plans to offer the PFF follow module in early 2023. This business product will enable external partners to use PFF’s exclusive smart following technology that allows humans to lead other robots and machines It will provide a larger range of navigation methods—remote control, autonomous, and following—in dynamic environments, said Piaggio.

Trimble and Exyn Technologies are working together on a proof-of-concept system using Boston Dynamic’s Spot for applications in the construction industry. Exyn’s 3D mapping system, ExynPak, and Trimble’s 3D scanning system, the Trimble X7, have been installed on the four-legged robot. The companies said earlier this week the combo will enable fully autonomous missions inside complex and dynamic construction environments, which can result in consistent and precise reality capture for production and quality control workflows. Autonomous robots powered by ExynAI, can sense and avoid obstacles, dynamically adapting to the ever-changing complexity of construction environments, according to Philadelphia-based Exyn Technologies. To…

…to ensure that models generalize to their real-world environments.” Trimble and Boston Dynamics turn to synthetic data NVIDIA's team explored using synthetic data generated from synthetic environments for a recent project, explained Gupta and Worker. Machine controls provider Trimble plans to deploy Boston Dynamics' Spot quadruped robot in a variety of indoor in a variety of indoor settings and construction environments. However, Trimble needed to develop a cost-effective and reliable workflow to train machine learning (ML) perception models so that Spot could operate autonomously in different indoor settings. By generating data from a synthetic indoor environment using structured domain randomization…

…inspect virtually anything — from radiation levels to landmines. Trimble Construction (surveying) When it comes to unpredictable, unstructured, and multi-leveled work environments, construction sites rank near the top of the list. That’s why our four-legged robotic friends are already being put to a variety of uses in the world of construction. One of these uses revolves around oversight and surveying. Legged robots can traverse a construction site and survey terrain, snap images using high definition cameras, and build out 3D maps, providing operators a way to assess progress with both ease and precision. Is a foundation being set to the…

…Series B round. CNH Industrial, At One Ventures, and Trimble Ventures provided additional individual and independent contributions. Monarch Tractor closed its $20 million Series A round in March, and began its first deployment at Wente Vineyards in April. “Monarch is transforming what is arguably the most important vehicle on the planet: tractors,” said Hendrik Van Asbroeck, a partner at Astanor Ventures. “Tractors emit 14x more [carbon emissions] than a car, and have not seen the same wave of digital innovation as we have seen in the automobile industry. Beyond delivering an affordable, clean and autonomous solution, Monarch‘s tractors capture detailed…

…robust enough so it performs safely and as planned? Trimble faced this challenge when it started building plans to deploy the Spot robot in a variety of indoor settings and construction environments. Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Trimble needed to tune the machine learning (ML) models to the exact indoor environments so Boston Dynamics' quadruped could autonomously operate in these different indoor settings. “As we deploy Spot equipped with our data-collection sensors and field-control software to indoor environments, we need to develop a cost effective and reliable workflow to train our ML-based perception models,” said Aviad Almagor, division vice president of emerging technology…
