Trimble has announced it will integrate VayaVision's raw data sensor fusion and perception software platform with its existing machine control technology. This will enable intelligent automation in complex work environments, according to the company.
The partnership is focused on advancing data fusion for multi-sensor systems such as LiDAR, cameras, and GNSS, the company says. These sensors are used to produce environmental mapping, which is critical for autonomous solutions. The result is expected to improve the performance of autonomous machines.
The partnership is said to:
- Improve operational efficiency, decrease labor costs, and reduce project timelines
- Help customers scale their automation efforts—from driver assistance features to fully autonomous solutions
- Offer a flexible approach to product engineering and implementation
- Reduce customer development costs and accelerate time to market
- Augment or replace human control to create a safer work environment
- Improve sustainability by optimizing vehicle functionality and utilization
The BIRD Foundation, a bi-national research and industrial development fund that promotes cooperation between U.S. and Israeli companies, is supporting the alliance. For more information on the BIRD Foundation, visit: www.birdf.com.
