Researchers in South Korea have developed an ultra-small, ultra-thin LiDAR device that splits a single laser beam into 10,000 points covering an unprecedented 180-degree field of view. It’s capable of 3D depth-mapping an entire hemisphere of vision in … Continue reading Tiny solid-state LiDAR device can 3D-map a full 180-degree field of view
There’s no more famous road endurance race than the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where teams compete to see how far they can drive in a single 24-hour window. The …read more Continue reading 24 Hours of Le Airplanes
Researchers from Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology are working on a new autonomous search and rescue system made up of a marine vessel that can launch a fleet of fixed-wing drones to scout a predefined area, along with live-feed quadcopters.Co… Continue reading Chalmers team working on tri-drone autonomous search and rescue system
Norway’s Argeo has launched the first uncrewed survey and inspection vessel based on the Mariner X platform from Maritime Robotics. The Argus is expected to undertake mapping and inspection operations for offshore wind projects.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Argus unmanned surface vessel designed for accurate ocean mapping
Following a number of technical setbacks, the Mayflower autonomous research vessel has successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean, clocking up 3,500 miles (5,600 km) and arriving in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on June 5.Continue ReadingCategory: Marine, Transpo… Continue reading Mayflower autonomous ship successfully crosses the Atlantic
HD Hyundai has announced that the Prism Courage, a 122,000 tonne ultra-large natural gas tanker operated by its subsidiary Avikus, has become the first large ship to make an ocean passage of over 10,000 km (6,210 miles) under autonomous control.Continu… Continue reading Massive LNG tanker sails itself across the Pacific in shipping world first
It would cost a lot of money to send a boatload of marine scientists across the Atlantic Ocean, all of them conducting research along the way. That’s where the Oceanus will come in, as plans call for it to make the trip and do the job without any crew … Continue reading Plans unveiled for Oceanus long-range autonomous marine research vessel
China christened a remarkable new 290-foot ship last week – the world’s first semi-autonomous drone carrier. It’ll carry, launch, recover and co-ordinate the actions of more than 50 other autonomous aerial, surface and underwater vehicles.Continue Read… Continue reading China launches an autonomous mothership full of autonomous drones
It looks like it’s soon to be lights out for the Mars InSight lander. In the two years that the lander has been studying the geophysics of Mars from its …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: May 22, 2022
Piloting a large ship through a heavy traffic area is no joke; there can be a huge number of hazards to keep track of, each traveling with its own speed and trajectory, and large ships are so slow to respond to control inputs that decisions need to be … Continue reading Autonomous container ship completes 790-km trip from crowded Tokyo Bay
