BEHIND THE BUZZWORDS
Autonomous vehicles
-
Self-driving machines programmed to navigate and perform tasks independently. These vehicles use sensors (GPS, IMU, Cameras, …), and algorithms to navigate within predefined boundaries without human intervention.
-
From managing warehouse logistics and performing analysis in agriculture to aiding in factory operations and enhancing delivery services, these vehicles revolutionize numerous sectors with their ability to operate independently.
Drones
-
Also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones are flying devices remotely controlled or autonomously programmed to perform specific tasks. Equipped with sensors (GPS, IMU, cameras) drones have widespread applications across industries, capturing high-resolution images, collecting data, and enabling precise aerial mapping or inspections.
-
In agriculture, drones revolutionize farming practices by providing real-time crop monitoring, enabling farmers to identify issues like disease outbreaks or irrigation needs. Similarly, in construction, drones conduct detailed site surveys and inspections, aiding in project planning and progress tracking.
Artificial Intelligence
-
AI refers to computer systems that mimic human intelligence to analyze data, recognize patterns, and make decisions. AI is often used as another term for machine learning. These systems learn from experience and adapt to new information, enabling problem-solving and automated decision-making.
-
AI and Machine Learning optimizes processes in diverse fields, aiding in autonomous control, predictive maintenance for machinery, predicting crop yields in agriculture, and detecting anomalies images.
Precision Robotics
-
The combination of advanced intelligence with intricate manipulation, allowing for highly accurate and targeted actions in various fields. These systems merge cutting-edge intelligence with intricate robotic techniques, achieving precise tasks with exceptional accuracy.
-
In agriculture, these robots precisely identify and treat individual weeds or execute delicate pruning maneuvers, enhancing crop health while minimizing resource use. Beyond agriculture, precision robotics optimize manufacturing lines, performing intricate assembly tasks with unparalleled accuracy, boosting production efficiency across various industries.
Big Data
-
When you have an enourmous amount of information on a specific activity or element, Big Data, often referring to Machine Learning, helps find connections, patterns, and hidden insights within a vast amount of data, allowing us to make better decisions and solve complex problems.
-
Big Data (Machine Learning) revolutionizes industries: it allows us to find the needles in the haystack, optimizes agriculture, predicting crop health and yields for better harvests
Machine Vision
-
This technology essentially enables machines to perceive and interpret visual information similarly to humans. It often refers to the field of computer vision, which todays is heavily related to machine learning. It involves the use of cameras and sophisticated algorithms to analyze images or video streams, extracting valuable insights or enabling precise decision-making.
-
Machine Vision finds applications across various sectors, from quality control in manufacturing industries to enhancing safety measures in autonomous vehicles. This technology enables the identification of diseased plants, measures crop growth, and even facilitates automated picking and sorting in food production.
