AOS has developed the Pug autonomous pedestrian. With a custom-developed chassis and software modified from AOS’ Kelpie autonomous land vehicle, the Pug allows for emulating pedestrians and animals in a safe and controlled manner.

At the beginning of 2020, AOS engaged two engineering interns via Monash University’s Co-op Program. Meet Bryan Varic Gunawan and Nir Nikolaevsky.

AOS’s Principal Robotics Engineer, Nathan Hamilton, has presented the company’s AI, autonomy and robotics capability to a Defence Department Australian Industry Capability panel.

The second-generation Kelpie has been updated with the next generation autopilot technology.

ADM 2020 concluded yesterday, and AOS was one of a substantial number of defence companies represented at the event at Canberra’s Playhouse Theatre.

These HUM-T workshops are run by the Army’s Soldier Combat System Program, and bring together Army, CASG, industry and universities to discuss the opportunities and challenges presented when introducing autonomous and robotic systems to the Army.

AOS’s Kelpie autonomous ground vehicle is about to achieve an exciting milestone. This will focus on testing the vehicle’s ability to detect and manoeuvre around obstacles that would typically be encountered “airside” on an airbase.

AOS recently completed the development of a proof-of-concept for AI-based decision aid, the Intelligent Battlespace Advisor (IBA), to support ASOPs. This is another step towards the practical application of AI Software Agents in Air and Missile Defence. Defence Connect has more details.

AOS, as one of the very early partners in the Australia and New Zealand Driverless Vehicle Initiative or ADVI, attended this on Thursday 30th May at ARRB’s new headquarters in Fishermens Bend.
