Multiple industries are increasingly frustrated by the prohibitive cost and excessive timeframes of obtaining real-world data for autonomous vehicle (AV) development. Using simulated environments - specifically mmWave radar simulation - to train machine learning models slashes the need for real-world data collection and provides a platform for rare use cases. This innovation briefing further explores the potential of mmWave radar simulation to reduce autonomous machine costs and enable greater levels of autonomy.

Private 5G networks promise to deliver huge business advantage. But, where to start if you are an enterprise, carrier or technology supplier considering deployment? This whitepaper is a practical guide to deploying a private 5G network for maximum business impact, including when using CBRS spectrum in the United States.

The changing regulatory and subsidy systems underpinning farming are changing radically. Furthermore, issues such as soil health, net zero and farm nature value are increasingly in the public eye.

Driven by advances in silicon and machine learning algorithms, Edge AI is presenting vast opportunities for businesses across diverse markets. 

Founders of early-stage start-ups are characteristically passionate, driven and optimistic. Understandably so. Very often they are nurturing a breakthrough idea with the capacity to disrupt business and change the world for the better. So, as they embark on the mission to sell their vision, they should accentuate the positive and keep negative thoughts of risk to the back of their mind, right? Wrong. 

Decarbonising aviation is a herculean task. Even an aircraft as fuel efficient as Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner uses 30 tonnes of kerosene to fly across the Atlantic. Batteries can’t be expected to achieve the power to weight ratio needed to replace this fuel. For all the interest in green hydrogen and related synthetic fuels it will be decades before a truly zero-carbon airliner can be expected to be carrying passengers.

Tim Ensor, Commercial Director, opened the AI Summit London with an overview of the breakthroughs and commercial successes in the world of AI in 2022

Niall Mottram, Head of Industrial and Energy for Cambridge Consultants, attended the recent Automate Conference determined to put the case for simulated environments as a key accelerator for the future of autonomy. Produced by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) this is the largest showcase of its kind in North America, staged over three days and attracting big crowds for the exhibits, keynotes, debates and presentations. His main takeaway – simulation is right on message and in tune with the mood of the industry. 

During her keynote, Dr Maya explored the new landscape shaped by creative AI solutions and put forward her manifesto for sustainable business growth that delivers the triple bottom line of people, profit and planet.

The construction sector globally is facing many challenges, including availability, cost and safety of labour. It must also confront topics such as environmental sustainability and cost of materials. Meanwhile, DX is a growing trend that can help address these challenges, with automation and autonomous technologies being a key enabler.

Our brand relaunch has landed just as we ramp up our commitment to The Engine, the ambitious venture capital firm spun out of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to support ‘Tough Tech’ companies and solve key challenges in climate change, human health and advanced systems. What’s particularly energizing is that as a strategic partner, we get to engage with founders of disruptive start-ups who are so passionate, driven and mission focused. The alignment with our own renewed purpose couldn’t be stronger.

Simulation is only as good as its approximation to the real world… its ‘equivalence’ in technical terms. We’ve been looking at how using intelligent simulation with a modular framework can deliver results faster to drive autonomous system development forward.
