🚀 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.

The ‘graceful migration’ of these planktonic organisms are serving as inspiration on how to build futuristic #robots that efficiently traverse the deep sea. These ‘jelly-like’ organisms, known as salps, form chains several feet long and travel the #ocean. Helical swimming is not a new concept in biology, but salps' motion is different because they move through jet propulsion - by propelling themselves through water similar to the way a #spacecraft fires thrusters to move in space.

And that’s a wrap at Sydney Photonics Industry Network (SPIN)’s 2024 Industry Showcase💡 Aligning with the International Day of Light, the event gathered over a hundred researchers, engineers and academics in the #photonics and #optics field. Katherine Kinder from Advanced Navigation delivered a spectacular keynote on how photonics is propelling innovative #navigation systems for GNSS-denied environments. The crowd also heard from Dr Simon Poole AO and Thomas Benke from LEAP Australia on the myriad technological and economic opportunities enabled by photonics. A special shoutout to Katie Chong and W. Y. Sarah Lau for pulling off another successful event. Thank you for having us as a partner.

A newly built #robot inspired by snails offers an innovative way to move through difficult, dangerous terrain. Biomimicry is nothing new within the field of #robotics. But while many aquatic and flying examples can #navigate three-dimensional environments, that often isn’t the case for bots relegated to walking, crawling, or rolling along the ground. Developed by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, these snail bots manoeuvre as a troop when an environment becomes too difficult for a single explorer. When in “free mode”, the robots move across a surface much like a traditional tank or bulldozer. But when the going gets tough and it’s time to swap responsibilities, the team engages their snail bot’s “strong mode.” Check out the full innovation here: https://lnkd.in/dDfbNzsi

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).
