Enabling Mapless Autonomous Commercial Vehicles - in mining, logistics, and hub-to-hub transport!
Deep Tech taking center stage at the European Defense Tech Hackathon in Munich 🚀 While only being there as a visitor, I took the chance today to discuss recent developments and insights into the space with some of the ambitious startup and hackathon teams at the event. What stands out is, that there is a significant need to take action and ensure that we develop tech sovereignty in the critical parts of the technology stack of future dual-use and defense products. 💡 Cost effectiveness becomes one of the most critical factors in the industry. Startups like TYTAN Technologies and ARX Robotics focus on providing fit for purpose products at 50x lower cost than traditional equipment. 💡 This cost cutting is also enabled by AI and computer vision. Drones and other equipment is becoming smaller and more autonomous, leading to the ability to effectively utilize it in swarms or platoons. Great to see the Spleenlab GmbH team to share some datasets from their development efforts as a challenge in this area within the hackathon. 💡 Data collection and management is a totally different story when it comes to defense use-cases. While already a big topic in civilian use, this poses a substantial challenge here. Last but not least - it has been a good chance to catch up with some well known faces from our fellow tech companies such as Balazs Nagy and Sukumar Karthigeyan 🚀
