As an island nation, dependent on seafaring vessels for trade, defence and more, the UK’s traditions for innovative and robust shipbuilding date back centuries. Small wonder then that today, amid booming demand for automated ocean logistics...

Professor Robin Murphy is an expert in using robots to save lives and rebuild communities following a disaster. She wrote a book on the subject, Disaster Robotics, which has become a key reference work. She is also the Raytheon professor of...

A specialist project is exploring collaborative autonomy in uncrewed vehicles on and below the water. The Collaborative Automations for Subsea Intervention (CASI) project, led by Robosys Automation, aims to address a...

Flying Ship in the US has shown the design of an autonomous sea-skimming vessel that is 10 times faster than a boat and a quarter of the cost of an aircraft. It has performed over 70 test flights using ground effect, flying 2 m above water...

Researchers in Korea have collected data on how passengers interact with driverless vehicles to improve trust, which has been a challenge for the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles operating at SAE L4 and L5...

ABLIC has developed an analogue power system that can detect faults in autonomous vehicles 20 times faster than digital devices. These high-speed voltage regulators are key to the safety of autonomous vehicles, but creating...

eYs3D Microelectronics, a subsidiary of Etron, has launched a multi-sensor image controller for autonomous systems. The eSP936 supports the synchronous processing of data from up to seven visual sensors to provide high...

An algorithm can double the resolution of a radar system without replacing the equipment. In Korea, the algo developed by researchers at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology enables precise object recognition using existing hardware...

NexAIoT in Taiwan has developed an autonomous mobile robot  platform using an AI accelerator from Kneron. The NexMOV-2 uses the Kneron KL730 neural-processing unit for SLAM and obstacle avoidance, and it replaces a 2D Lidar laser sensor...

Skyryse has successfully implemented single-swipe takeoff and hover for a production helicopter for the first time. Each time, Skyryse performed a textbook-perfect seamless and stable hover. While it wasn’t the first time the aircraft achieved this...
