Advanced Navigation

🚀 From down under to the skies above, Advanced Navigation launches into #space! A key component of Space Machines Company’s Orbital Service Vehicle named #Optimus, our digital fibre-optic gyroscope, the #Boreas X90, took off on SpaceX's Transporter 10 rideshare launch earlier this week. 🛰️ Optimus will enhance the operational life of crucial space infrastructure and satellites by providing repair, refuelling and upgrade services directly in orbit. Think of it as #RoadSideAssistance in space! 🫡 Now in low Earth Orbit, Boreas X90 will optimise the vehicle’s manoeuvres, providing precise orientation and positioning for satellite docking and ‘orbital jumps’. Congratulations to the entire team at Space Machines Company, and thank you to the Australian Space Agency for supporting us in this new era of space exploration. This is truly a monumental moment. #Navigate to the comments to learn more about Boreas X90’s journey.

Advanced Navigation and Robotics Australia Group would like to thank all attendees who came to our #Mining #Innovation Spotlight event. Our teams are still buzzing from the energy and insights shared by thought leaders in mining and #robotics. ⛏💎🤖 A special shoutout to our inspiring speakers: ✅Dr Sue Keay, Chair and Founding Director of Robotics Australia Group ✅Chris Shaw, CEO and Co-Founder of Advanced Navigation ✅Gavin Gillett, Solutions Architect at Nova Systems Australia and New Zealand ✅Adam Amos, Director at Robotic Systems ✅Ross Carter, Industry Specialist at Austmine Their contributions made for a fantastic evening filled with forward-thinking conversations and lively debate. With the mining industry poised for significant transformation in the coming decade, there is no better time than now for #Australian mine operators to explore how #autonomous solutions can address legacy inefficiencies across their mine sites.

Scientists at the Brno University of Technology have developed tiny #robots which appear to be very effective at removing microplastics pollution from water. Microplastics (smaller than 5 millimetres in diameter) are found in waterways around the world. The sources are diverse - from the plastic microbeads that come in toothpaste to the fibres falling from synthetic clothing. They also draw harmful bacteria, posing serious health risks. In lab tests, the microrobots, once put into water, linked up to form flat sheets to align with the magnetic field produced by external coils. They then moved through the water, while their charged polymer strands were able to trap bacteria and micro polystyrene beads (playing the role of microplastics).

#Autonomous #navigation is transforming the mining landscape. At this week’s #ElementSummit, Advanced Navigation’s Head of INS Simon Ward will join experts from BHP, OffWorld, Unearthed and Rio Tinto to discuss the impact of autonomous operations on GPS-denied environments, such as underground, urban and remote mining areas. Hosted by AROSE and Robotics Australia Group, the Element Summit draws on Australia’s expertise in managing remote outback domains and emerging developments in the global space sector. Specifically, Simon will talk about how innovative technologies such as #InertialNavigationSystems are able to automate mines, delivering new levels of operational efficiency and safety.

Advanced Navigation is proud to partner with Sydney Photonics Industry Network (SPIN) for the International Day of Light 2024 Industry Showcase. The event brings together leading experts from Australia’s #Optics and #Photonics landscape to demonstrate pioneering products and services. Our very own photonics engineer Katherine Kinder will be presenting on how photonics are enabling Australian innovation in #navigation technology, such as strategic-grade fibre-optic gyroscopes. You will also hear from entrepreneur Dr Simon Poole AO and Matt Haines, optical applications engineer at LEAP Australia, about the key economic, social and technological capabilities photonics is enabling. Thank you to the co-founders of #SPIN, Dr Katie Chong and W. Y. Sarah Lau, for making this partnership possible. Reserve your place at the open event here: https://lnkd.in/gvK5kkJ5

International Space Station National Laboratory's new project could provide a breakthrough in 3D mapping technology and transform #space exploration. Utilising NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's free-flying #robotic Astrobee system, the project will test a novel 3D mapping technology that can produce detailed maps of remote environments, ranging from the intricacies of the space station to the inner depths of a lava tube on the #Moon or Mars.

Watch the ReefScan CoralAUV in its element as it autonomously navigates complex #underwater paths and manoeuvres through the obstacle-laden terrain of a large coral reef. Developed by the Australian Institute of Marine Science and QUT (Queensland University of Technology), the ReefScan CoralAUV is equipped with Advanced Navigation’s Subsonus underwater positioning system – the blue and white device mounted on top. Delivering low SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost), Subsonus enables the ReefScan CoralAUV to perform precise georeferenced surveys and replicate them regularly and affordably for effective reef management.
