  • Driverless Work Vehicles that Grab Attention and Things

    Driverless Work Vehicles that Grab Attention and Things

    Autonomous technology, where mobility is a subset, is the vision AppliedEV had on display at CES 2023. With a variety of robot arms and purpose-built, electric chassis, autonomous movement is clearly an important parameter driving the design of their driverless work vehicles. What differentiates the AppliedEV vehicles is that the purpose of the vehicles they…

    Viodi View – 01/04/19

    In this Pre-CES 2020 edition of the Viodi View, there are multiple videos from CES2019 that provide a glimpse of the wide variety of new technology and developments found at this expansive tradeshow in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, in the Korner section of the newsletter, there is a link to a video with what may be…

    Sensors Galore & More #CES2019

    Passive and active sensors that detect low-frequency (audio) to the invisible (Radar, Lidar and Thermal) to cameras, will be central to creating autonomous vehicles that yield safer driving. Similarly, outward communications, whether via dynamic signage, audio blasts or some other means, to the humans walking, riding or driving the streets is critical for mobility machines…

    Through the Air or On the Ground, CES2019 had Mobility Covered

    Whether by air, road, bike lane, hallway or virtually, via wireless, CES2019 had all aspects of mobility covered. Starting with wireless, announcements of so-called “5G” were everywhere. Wireless carriers are racing ahead of standards and chipset compatibility to establish beachheads in markets served by traditional wireline networks, such as cable and fiber providers. Of course,…

    Hidden Sensors, Smart Driving #CES2018

    To paraphrase Author C. Clarke, when the smart sensors that will make autonomous driving possible slip into the background, mobility will become magic. The concepts that North American Lighting (NAL), a Koito Group Company, displayed at CES2018, suggest that by the early to mid-2020s, driving will be magic. In the above interview, Kishore Ahuja, Vice…

    Autonomous Vehicles Staying the Course with a Fiber Gyro #AVS16

    Redundancy of inputs might be the secret sauce that will lead to the expected safety improvements of autonomous transportation. In the above interview, Sean McCormack, Director, FOG/OEM Sales for KVH Industries, talks about KVH’s inertial sensor as a way for an autonomous vehicle to understand where it is at all times, even, in those cases…
