Solution features customizable software
modules using latest AI and machine learning technology to navigate
unstructured terrain.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied
Intuition, a vehicle software supplier for automotive, trucking,
construction, mining, agriculture and defense, today announced its
new off-road autonomy stack solution that can navigate complex
unstructured terrain safely.
Off-road autonomy is highly complex. The dynamic and
inconsistent nature of off-road terrain can impact basic autonomous
vehicle (AV) system functions like obstacle detection and
avoidance, creating challenges for safe and efficient off-road
navigation. Off-road environments also pose safety risks and put a
high cognitive load on operators. Autonomy stacks can address
reductions in manpower while contributing to operational efficiency
and increased productivity across various industries. However, they
require complex infrastructure and can be costly and challenging to
develop and maintain in-house.
To help organizations navigate these challenges, Applied
Intuition provides a robust off-road autonomy stack that can run on
production hardware and navigate in real environments. The
technology has been designed by a team of experts who understand
both the latest machine learning (ML) techniques and the
constraints of rugged environments. The stack consists of
separately factored modules that can be individually integrated
into a customer's robotics system.
"As more industries look to adopt AV technology, we want our
software to be at the forefront of off-road autonomy," said
Peter Ludwig, co-founder and CTO of
Applied Intuition. "Our off-road stack combines the latest AI and
ML advances with traditional safety and systems expertise to
deliver state-of-the-art performance in the most challenging
environments. We're confident our offering will deliver strong
value to our customers."
Applied Intuition's newest offering includes software
capabilities such as:
- Simultaneous localization and mapping: Enables a vehicle
to understand rough, unstructured, and unmapped environments
without requiring a consistent or accurate GPS signal.
- Perception and object tracking: Provides a high-fidelity
holistic view of surrounding environments in real time, including
semantic understanding and 3D geometric modeling, for both static
terrain and dynamic objects.
- Sensor fusion and calibration: Collects data across
multiple modalities using both traditional geometric and
cutting-edge ML methods.
- Planning and controls: Navigates the vehicle along a
safe and efficient path that avoids rollover, entanglement, and
collision using an approach that is proven across multiple vehicle
types and models.
Applied Intuition's off-road stack works with the company's base
software platform, while supporting third-party integrations,
secure environment testing and data management. Organizations can
also use the off-road autonomy stack in conjunction with Applied
Intuition's definitive ADAS/AD toolchain for simulation-driven
development. To learn more about the off-road autonomy stack go to
