Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles for Logistics YLOG build autonomous robots that can be used to transport containers for logistics companies. These robots, or Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles (AiV) help reduce energy costs while maximizing the use of your space. Within these AiVs are Maxon drives, ensuring these robots move with precision. YLOG was able to develop an automated small part warehouse that is not only incredibly intelligent, but environmentally friendly, using free moving vehicles (AiVs). These AiVs can be made in many different sizes and unique features allow up to 500 of them to be utilized in the same space at once. Features of AiVs These Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles have a number of features that lend them so adept for warehouse logistics. First and foremost, they can be used in both warehouse and transport logistics. They are also freely moving and able to detect each other, while observing road and traffic rules; these features reduce the risk of an accident. AiVs are able to complete tasks fully autonomously; a centralized unit tells the robots which containers it is supposed to retrieve or deposit and where to do so. From there, the robots steer themselves and complete the task. These AiVs utilize supercapacitors rather than batteries as a means of power. This means that nearly 200 of the AiVs can be operated with the same energy as a single, conventional storage and retrieval system. Additionally, the AiVs are recharged via current while in operation, allowing for maximum use. Maxon Motors The Maxon motors and gearheads in AiVs are utilized to control the precision steering, indicating wheel positioning and the picking up/putting down motions. YLOG chose to utilize Maxon motors for a number of reasons. First, the electronically commutated EC motor has very good torque, a long service life, wide speed range, and high power. Additionally, the ceramic components in the gearheads improve the wear characteristics of crucial components. Overall, the highly individual and customized Maxon motors and gearheads have a longer lifespan, higher continuous and temporary torques, and higher input speeds.

AutowareCon Conclusion to Markus Schratter Speech Safety isn't platform-specific - it's systematic. The biggest mistake in autonomous systems? Treating each platform as a unique safety challenge. At 10.09 Autoware Foundation 10-year anniversary event, Markus Schratter from Hashtag#VirtualVehicle demonstrated something remarkable: the same safety-validated Autoware stack running across passenger vehicles, buses, UGVs, quadruped robots, and even drones. Having delivered 15+ safety-compliant automotive projects, I know how tempting it is to customize safety approaches for each platform. But Virtual Vehicle's systematic approach caught my attention for three critical reasons. Standardized safety interfaces across platforms - They've created a unified sensor launch system that provides the same data format regardless of whether it's a car, bus, or robot dog. This isn't just elegant engineering - it's safety-critical thinking. When you standardize the safety interface, you reduce the validation burden exponentially. Multi-modal safety integration - From wheeled vehicles to legged robots, they're proving that safety-critical autonomous systems can share validated components while adapting interfaces. This aligns perfectly with our experience integrating diverse automotive systems - Camera, Battery Management, Domain ECUs, and LiDAR systems. What struck me most was Schratter's emphasis on maintaining "Hashtag#TheSameAutowareStack" across platforms while adapting only the interfaces. This is exactly the kind of systematic safety thinking that our ISO26262-certified team brings to every project. ADAS is a subset of Robotics. The implications for industrial automation are significant. If the same safety-validated stack can navigate a narrow tunnel in a passenger car and perform search-and-rescue operations with a UGV, imagine the possibilities for industrial plants, mining operations, and agricultural applications. Hashtag#VirtualVehicle's approach validates something we've believed for years: safety-critical embedded systems require systematic, not ad-hoc, approaches. The companies that will succeed in autonomous systems aren't those with the most platforms - they're those with the most robust safety validation across platforms. Are you seeing similar systematic approaches to safety validation in your autonomous projects? #Autoware #Robotics #VirtualVehicle #Safety #ADAS #AMR #AI

Autonomous Driving: Human level Control for Autonomous Dodging of Adversarial Traffic with Bi-Directional Traffic Negotiation. In this demo one can see our autonomous vehicle at Swaayatt Robots (स्वायत्त रोबोट्स) autonomously dodging adversarial traffic on a tight single-lane road with muddy sides, showcasing the robustness of our #autonomousdriving technology. Earlier, on 27th of August, while demonstrating to representatives from Suzuki Motor Corporation from Japan, we did a low-speed autonomous dodging on a wide road. We increased the complexity for our autonomous vehicle even further and last week we performed autonomous dodging and bi-directional negotiation at much higher speeds. While our vehicle was navigating autonomously, we asked our engineering team to use a bicycle, a bike, and an SUV to cut the path of our autonomous vehicle, at random / at will, creating a very challenging adversarial scenario, where the sole responsibility of collision avoidance, detouring is that of our #autonomousvehicles. As a disclaimer, a) The person cutting the path of our autonomous vehicle by overtaking it through a bicycle was myself. b) The person driving the SUV at high-speeds on muddy roads overtaking and then cutting the path of autonomous vehicle is again myself. c) The team member who cut the path our autonomous vehicle at 22-sec and 2:40-mark in the video is our mechanical engineer Nipun Shah and the team member who cut the path with a bike at 1:46-mark is our robotics engineer Paras Rana. Furthermore, our vehicle also performed traffic-cone negotiation, as well as generic bi-directional traffic on a single lane road with ease -- a capability that Swaayatt Robots is a pioneer of and has been demonstrating since October 2023. The motion planning and decision making framework performing dodging and bidirectional negotiation is something I have been personally developing for quite some time now, and it uses one RL agent. This underlying policy is being scaled up for Level-5 autonomy via deep #reinforcementlearning. #deeplearning

The challenge with autonomous driving on Indian roads is the huge uncertainty with data (labels on road/direction indicators/ variability in condition of roads / unexpected crossings). Swaayatt Robotics testing videos are really impressive trying to overcome this challenge.
