These rings, also known as fiber optic coil or fiber optic loop, form the core sensing component in FOGs, enabling highly sensitive detection of angular velocity and rotational movement. Key drivers propelling market expansion include the increasing demand for inertial navigation systems (INS) in aerospace, defense, and marine applications, where FOGs are extensively used for navigation, stabilization, and targeting purposes. Additionally, the growing adoption of FOG-based sensors in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), autonomous vehicles, and robotics further fuels market growth. Technological advancements in fiber optic ring design, including the development of low-loss fiber materials and high-precision winding techniques, are driving innovation in the market. As industries continue to invest in advanced navigation and sensing solutions to improve operational efficiency and safety, the Fiber Optic Ring for Fiber Optic Gyro Market is poised for continued expansion in the foreseeable future.

The critical window for finding victims after an earthquake is 72 hours. During mass casualty incidents local health systems are overwhelmed and first responders often face a dilemma on where to focus their efforts. This is why the research arm of the Pentagon, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), announced a challenge to spur innovation in triage using robots and drones. Penn Robotic Non-contact Triage and Observation (PRONTO) and the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing, and Perception (GRASP) Laboratory faced the challenge head on working to bring a robotic triage system to reality. PRONTO's plan involves two wheeled ground robots, which look like tiny cars, and one drone. The team of robots is designed to fan out across a disaster area and collect data. In tests, the robots generated maps of the Penn Engineering Research and Collaboration Hub branch of the GRASP Lab, at Pennovation Works, almost like characters in a video game discovering a new level. “The robots work together to build the map, localize where all the people are and where different landmarks are, which is really important if you're giving directions to first responders.” Learn more about how PRONTO and GRASP are pioneering robotic triage here: https://bit.ly/3UqqA7p Penn Engineering

Mechatronics and Applications: An International Journal (MECHATROJ) Webpage URL: https://lnkd.in/fkNw35p A Theoretical Design of a Combined Air and Ground Unmanned Vehicle for Search and Follow a Disaster Yazen.H Shakir, University of Leeds, UK Abstract The combination between unmanned ground vehicle and unmanned Ariel vehicle has become a matter of discussion lately in the field of robotics. This paper proposes a theoretical design of an unmanned vehicle with dimensions of (370 X 367 X 318 mm) which can fly as aerial vehicle and move on the ground, so it is considered unmanned ground vehicle as well. Subsequently, hybrid design is appropriate for following disaster robot because of the harsh environment. This investigation comprises literature review on some previous works in this regards along with the conception of the vehicle is argued in details with 3 D drawings. Furthermore, some calculations of the drag, lift forces and power consumption are performed. Finally, MATLAB plots are extracted to give an indication of the displacement response of the automobile in both X-Y axes.

#DisruptiveTech Montreal-based integrated optics sensor company One Silicon Chip Photonics (OSCP) says it has developed an inertial optical system that matches the accuracy of navigational sensors used in the aerospace industry at a fraction of the cost. While these chips do not have any moving parts, the firm says it is more accurate (by a factor of 10) than commercial-grade Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems Inertial Measurement Units (MEMS IMUs) and they enable highly accurate navigation even when GPS signals are not available. OSCP has partnered with French multinational company Thales, which is developing autonomous rail systems and has been testing OSCP’s prototype in the field. Using sensors like OSCP’s in rail transport will increase vehicle autonomy which — along with moving block signaling — has the potential to increase rail capacity by up to 50% and cut energy consumption by 15%, according to Thales. OSCP claims that the new technology will facilitate the mass adoption of autonomous systems in applications such as autonomous vehicles and drones. #gps #photonics #optical #airbornesensors #autonomous #drones #autonomousvehicles Campaign Catapult, Pravo Consulting

𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 The defense industry is experiencing a paradigm shift with the integration of edge computing into autonomous systems. Edge computing enables data processing at or near the source of data generation, significantly reducing latency and enhancing real-time decision-making capabilities. This technology is crucial for the defense sector, where timely and accurate data processing can mean the difference between mission success and failure. One compelling application of edge computing is in the deployment of autonomous ground vehicles for reconnaissance missions. By processing data locally, these vehicles can quickly analyze terrain, detect threats, and make autonomous navigation decisions without relying on centralized cloud computing. This reduces the risk of communication delays and ensures that the vehicles can operate effectively in remote or contested environments. In a practical scenario, edge computing can be used to enhance the capabilities of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) used for border patrol and battlefield reconnaissance. These UGVs, equipped with advanced sensors and edge computing units, can perform tasks such as real-time image and video analysis, object detection, and threat assessment. By processing data on the spot, UGVs can provide immediate feedback to command centers, enhancing situational awareness and allowing for faster, more informed decision-making. This approach not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures the robustness and reliability of the autonomous systems, even in environments where communication infrastructure is compromised or nonexistent. This AI-assisted article reflects my personal experiences and expertise. My background in mechanical engineering, coupled with specialized training in embedding sensors, motors, and autonomous flight engineering, aligns with the themes discussed. The focus on edge computing parallels my own endeavors in developing systems that integrate hardware and software components for real-time data processing and decision-making. Furthermore, my commitment to continuous learning and innovative problem-solving underpins the insights shared here. Let's connect to discuss how my problem-solving abilities and technical expertise can contribute to our shared goals in engineering and technology innovation. #DefenseTech #EdgeComputing #AutonomousSystems #Innovation #Security #UGV #Engineering #Technology
