Following a successful proof of concept, Charles River Analytics was awarded more than $1.1 million by the US Navy to apply computer vision and autonomous robotics capabilities to navigation over the open ocean.
Images of the ocean can be captured by sensors on uncrewed aircraft systems (UASs), which also record data about position, orientation, and field of view. But it is not easy to match the images and data to exact locations and create accurate maps. Unlike ground terrain, the ocean surface lacks reliable landmarks. GPS data is not always available.

Innervating Smaller, Smarter, Safer...and Bluer Robots and Drones
By: Dawn Zoldi (Colonel, USAF Ret.)
To Innervate means to “put the nerves into” something. In humans, nerves are a key part of the nervous system, which also includes the brain and spinal cord. This system has three overlapping functions: sensory input (receiving information, processing and interpreting it), integration (extracting information and sending it out for an appropriate response), and motor output (initiating a response).

AUVSI Cascade 2022 Fall Symposium & GTA Tech Showcase
Join us for an exciting, combined event with the Gorge Technology Alliance (GTA) and Association of Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Cascade Chapter.
Plan an afternoon of hearing the latest from the experts in robotic and uncrewed systems and users, connect with new and existing colleagues during breaks and the networking reception (with drinks & appetizers), followed by the GTA Tech Showcase, which includes overviews and opportunities from leading technology companies in the Gorge.
NVIDIA’s End-to-End Solutions for Edge AI and Robotics
Robotics and autonomy are evolving at a rapid pace, and new technologies are creating new benefits for businesses and society. However, continuing the advancement of uncrewed systems to deliver on these benefits requires advanced computing that supports intelligence, innovation and system security.
The NVIDIA® Jetson™ platform advances this ecosystem with a full suite that is relied on by leading companies to develop once and deploy everywhere. NVIDIA’s hardware, software, simulation, and imaging tools meet the massive computing demands required to train, test, and bring to market edge AI and robotics.

Distributed Warfare and Uncrewed Systems in the New Era of Strategic Competition
As the Pentagon moves resources to address the new era of strategic competition, uncrewed systems – in the air, in the sea, and on land – will be the tip of the sword for our sailors, marines, soldiers and airmen. This era is evolving to one that is multi-domain, features rising peer and near-peer adversaries, and is driven by industry innovation.
For the U.S. to maintain its security advantage in a multi-domain battlespace where force overmatch is no longer an absolute, a strategic shift needs to take place from a reliance on large and expensive traditional military assets to a distributed warfare and force structure.
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?
