Autonomy, Advanced Mobility, and Robotics Systems
OVERVIEW
In the late 1990s, the Internet Revolution was exploding across the global landscape, but we really had no idea at the time just how profound the impact was going to be. Today, we see an autonomy revolution in the making – an interconnected Internet of Things that, when linked to developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence, promises to change everyday life as we know it.
Self-driving cars on roads. Pilotless air taxis in the sky. Self-learning robots in factories. Intelligent transportation systems that are connected to each other and the Internet. Our clients are pioneers on the frontiers of connectivity and are hard at work combining the latest advances in materials, software, and hardware with breakthroughs in the application of artificial intelligence. The sky is literally the limit for the development of new systems and products.
The rapid electrification of transportation and industrial systems is creating opportunities for multinational companies and start-ups alike. However, many challenges relating to government regulation, safety, privacy, and other issues must still be overcome before the new technology can begin to reach its full potential. New systems and products must be fully protected before hitting the market so that competitors cannot easily knock off pioneering developments.
