Australian technology company Visionary Machines has secured a contract with Singapore’s Cap Vista to trial the company’s Pandion Perception system on an autonomous platform.
The trials will assess the performance of Visionary Machines’ passive 3D sensing capability across a range of operationally relevant environments and conditions.
Specifically, the activity will evaluate Pandion Perception’s integration with an autonomous platform for sensing, perception, localisation, mapping and navigation functions.
The work is expected to examine how the company’s passive optical 3D sensing technology performs across different terrain, lighting, environmental and operational conditions.
“We are pleased to be selected to evaluate Pandion Perception on an autonomous platform and its relevance to next-generation defence capability,” said Visionary Machines chief executive officer Sonny Foster.
“The trial aims to demonstrate the adaptability of our technology to a range of autonomy and situational awareness challenges.
“By providing passive 3D sensing, localisation and navigation capabilities, Pandion Perception has the potential to support autonomous systems and defence applications across a variety of operational environments.”
The engagement positions Visionary Machines to demonstrate the effectiveness of Pandion Perception’s 3D sensing platform with a credible, technically demanding defence organisation for sensing and navigation on moving autonomous platforms.
Success in these trials has the potential to open the door to further discussions on deploying the company’s sensing capability across additional classes of autonomous platforms.
