Dr. Suzy Young: What Assured Autonomy Means to Me
As the new AUVSI Board Chair, I am extremely excited about our XPONENTIAL 2021 theme of Assured Autonomy. It is catchy, but more importantly, it provokes the question: Exactly what does that mean to me?
Successfully Educating CA Lawmakers About UAS Technology
One of AUVSI’s guiding advocacy pillars is to support the opening of markets, reduction of barriers, and injection of more certainty and predictability into Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operations and marketplace. AUVSI has been in close contact with key California lawmakers and stakeholders about AB 1292, and we are pleased that the bill has been shelved with no consideration this year.
Wibotic launches software to simplify complexity that comes with keeping large fleets charged
Seattle-based Wibotic last week launched a software package to help customers manage the increasingly complex array of tasks necessary to keep vehicles in growing unmanned fleets charged and ready to perform.
The software, called Commander, offers constant, at-a-glance awareness of all vehicles through a user-friendly interface, said CEO and co-founder Ben Waters. Users will be able to assess quickly how soon vehicles need to be charged, as well as to gather data on things like power usage and battery performance over time – to inform future scheduling and purchasing decisions.
“It might be used for a single vehicle on a single site, or a single vehicle on hundreds of sites, or it could be used for hundreds of vehicles on one site,” Waters said.
Sonardyne Technology Selected to Support Fugro's Fleet of Uncrewed Surface Vessels
Technology from Sonardyne has been chosen to support leading geo-data specialist Fugro’s global fleet of uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) and remotely-operated vehicles (ROVs).
Sonardyne’s Mini-Ranger 2 Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) position system will be integrated into Fugro’s new 12-meter long Blue Essence USV, the first of which will be delivered to Fugro’s base in Perth in February. Once integrated, the Mini-Ranger 2 will allow the Blue Essence to deploy, track, command and control ROVs and underwater autonomous vessels (UAVs) as part of inspection, survey and data harvesting projects - all of which will be controlled from Fugro’s onshore remote operations centers.
