AUVSI Presents: Perfecting Perception
Date/Time: Wednesday, October 26– 3:00 – 4:00pm ET
Webinar Description:
Perception, in terms of autonomy, involves these machines using sensors, cameras, and advanced software to collect, process, and interpret real-time data that informs the vehicles decisions. As one of the most crucial pieces for the safe and reliable operation of uncrewed systems, these systems need to be virtually flawless.
Join this AUVSI webinar to take a deeper look into the latest technologies being developed that are helping to perfect autonomous perception.

How Lidar Can Improve Safety, Efficiency
AUVSI and SAE International recently hosted the first Business of Automated Mobility Forum, bringing together industry leaders and experts from across the automated mobility industry to develop guiding strategies for success.
During an Enterprise Solutions Series presented by Jon Barad, VP of Business Development at Velodyne Lidar, Forum attendees learned about how lidar-based solutions are transforming infrastructure to make communities smarter and safer, today and in the future.
SMALL SENSORS WITH A BIG FUTURE: LightWare launches world’s smallest lightest microLiDAR, gives machines eyes
7 June 2021 – Drones and other autonomous vehicles have changed the world with their ability to go where humans can’t. Yet, these machines are vulnerable to accidents that can wipe them and their cargo out instantly because they lack the essential human quality of sight.
USA based LightWare LiDAR is taking autonomous machines to a whole new level by making them as invincible as they need to be with its new SF45 microLiDAR, the world’s smallest, lightest, scanning LiDAR sensor. By giving a machine eyes with the SF45, high cost unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) will be able to do their work with lower risk of catastrophe, including the safe delivery of their equally valuable and often lifesaving payloads.
Black Swift Technologies contracts with NOAA to develop a backup navigation system for when standard GPS fails
Jamming. Spoofing. Interference from the landscape or cityscape. Interference from other flight equipment.
Such snarls arise often enough with satellite signals to make it clear: Routine UAS flight beyond the line of sight (BLOS) will likely never happen with traditional GPS technology alone. To assure safe travel over long distances, unmanned aircraft systems need greater capability to ensure accurate positioning and routing.
