Safety First: Trusted AI Transforms Robotics

into Cooperative Teams

for Complex Environments

The Problem:

Robots can perform dirty, dull, and dangerous jobs faster and safer than people. But when the outdoor environment is unstructured and unpredictable, you need teams of different robot types with abilities to overcome obstacles and communicate in ways they were not designed for.

The Solution:

Dirty, Dull, And Dangerous Jobs get Done Faster And Safer With AvaWatz Trusted AI Collaborative Robot Teams

GET MORE FROM YOUR ROBOTS
WITH AVAWATZ

The AvaWatz Trusted AI Platform enables robotics teaming to allow robots of different types and abilities to work effectively in environments that are unstructured, performing nuanced activities that can be executed only when they cooperate. Powerful machine learning methods combine the capabilities of individual robot agents into a unified system for collaborative detecting, deciding, and acting. This enables your ultimate robot team to get the job done!

Challenging Environments Require Multi-Platform robot Teams to Collaborate and Problem Solve as a unit to complete the mission safely.

For Use As Needed...Not Designed

TO GET THE JOB DONE, ROBOTS NEED TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THREE (SEEMINGLY) SIMPLE STEPS:

INTERPRET DATA FROM SENSORS

COMMUNICATE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION

OVERCOME OBSTACLES To Accomplish the Mission

IN THE REAL WORLD, THese “SIMPLE” STEPS GET COMPLICATED QUICKLY.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED

Robots are great at collecting data through their sensors. The only limitation they have is the type and quality of sensor they have for operating in a given environment, or at a given distance.

Does the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) or UGV (unmanned ground vehicle) receiving the actionable information have the capability to do the task that needs to get done? Many times, they don’t. For example: UAVs are often blessed with great vision, but without hands and feet (so to speak). A UGV may have ‘hands and feet’, but significantly limited vision. The best solution to the problem may be to coordinate the actions between the two robot types.

If you’re lucky enough to have the right robot with the right skill ready to deploy, it still needs to be told where to go and what to do. The problem is, the UGV was built by a different company, and uses a different programming language than the UAV. AvaWatz provides conduit for communication that allows the different technologies to coordinate to each other, allowing for autonomous action (or placing the people in full control of the coordinated effort).

Data interpretation is only as good as the method used. There are three ways to deal with this data interpretation, and sometimes you need all three to overcome the challenges that are in the way: 

    • Human collaboration for interpretation (the tried and true). The object in question is highlighted; what do you want to do with it? 
    • AI and machine learning recognises the object and determines action. 
    • A person collaboratively works with the AI to determine action. 

Sometimes 1-to-1 communication isn’t enough to get the job done in the time allotted. For instance, a large task may require 100 UAVs scanning across a few hundred square miles, and you need coordinated interpretation to ensure you are getting the most actionable information.  

Your ability to execute is contingent on your robots team’s ability to receive actionable information and utilize the tools appropriate for the execution of the task at hand.

SAFE AND EASY TO USE

ARYA’s User Interface (UI) can be accessed from any connected device, including mobile phone, tablet, and PC. The UI is intuitive, easy to learn and easy to use, and all data is encrypted for security and confidentiality.

REAL-TIME INFERENCE

The need to perceive and understand the surrounding environment is paramount, including objects of interest, paths for travel, and moving and fixed obstacles. The ARYA architecture supports a wide variety of sensors, including single and stereo-vision visual-spectrum and infrared cameras, 3D LIDAR, mm-wave radar, ultrasonics, GPS/GNSS, and Inertial Measurement Units. The rich sensor suite enables you to configure robotic agents for operation at night and in difficult weather conditions, including rain, snow, fog, and dust.

COOPERATIVE TASKING

Decision Intelligence in ARYA means planning what actions each robot agent should take to accomplish its goals, based on sensor information about the environment. ARYA shares sensor data among its robot agents in real time and combines that data to create a 3-dimensional picture of the team’s Area of Operations and mark the locations of objects of interest, as well as fixed and moving obstacles. If there is a pre-existing map of the Area of Operations ARYA will use that map information to augment its sensor-based world model, but a pre-existing map is not required; ARYA’s robot agent can find their way in unexplored territory and build up a map of the territory as they explore it. You can build out teams of robots powered by ARYA to perform a broad variety of tasks that involve cooperation among robots with differing skill sets for sensing, deciding, and acting.

AUTONOMOUS CONTROL

ARYA enables teams of robotic agents to share data among themselves and make real-time dynamic decisions about the team’s navigation and path planning, and to allocate the task responsibilities efficiently among the available robot workers.
