Searching for a parking spot is far from the most enjoyable part of driving, and lately we’re seeing how autonomous systems might handle this final leg of the journey. The latest example is a collaborative effort from Ford, Bosch and Detroit-based real… Continue reading Ford Escapes park themselves in automated valet project in Detroit
An unmanned aircraft designed for high-altitude communications has edged closer to the real-world applications, with the HAPSMobile Sunglider successfully completing another round of testing in New Mexico. The solar-powered aircraft soared to new heigh… Continue reading Solar-powered Sunglider UAV soars to new heights at Spaceport America
If you’re preparing food on an automated production line, then that line had better be clean. A new autonomous robot was designed with this in mind, as it actually learns how to clean better over time.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, TechnologyTags:… Continue reading Production line-cleaning robot learns on the job
Both startups and established automakers see great potential in the future of autonomous trucking, and TuSimple is one company taking very proactive steps to grab its slice of the pie. The California-based firm today revealed an ambitious plan to begin… Continue reading TuSimple teams with UPS on US network for autonomous trucking
So far as self-driving startups go, Waymo is farther along than most with tens of millions of miles covered by its test vehicles and number of partnerships in place with household names like Walmart and Jaguar. It can now add Volvo to that list, with t… Continue reading Volvo teams with Waymo to develop autonomous electric vehicles
Elbit Systems UK’s autonomous Seagull Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) has completed Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) sea trials off the British coast in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence, with the USA’s L3Harris Technologies providing sonar systems… Continue reading Seagull unmanned surface vehicle demonstrates anti-submarine potential
