Physical AI built on a large and diverse data pool

Crowdsourcing

One of the major roadblocks in Industrial Vehicle Autonomy is the access to high quality and diverse training data. The driveblocks Autonomy Platform tackles this by building on a large and diverse data pool, crowdsourced via vehicles operating under real world conditions in all types of indstries. In combination with a sophisticated data management and AI model fine tuning procedure, this achieves cost savings by an order of magnitude in AI related cost.

Cutting edge Physical AI ready for embedded deployment

Superior Performance

The driveblocks autonomy platform leverages breakthrough advancements in deep learning neural network architectures and makes them suitable for deployment on embedded hardware. This allows to operate high performance AI applications at lowest energy consumption and on control units robust to harsh environment conditions – an important pre-condition for series production deployments.

All-weather and conditions perception.

Robust

A combination of sensor technologies enables all-weather perception - industrial vehicles have to operate continuously. 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In all conditions: rain, snow, and dust. None of this is an excuse to stop an autonomous vehicle from operating. Our sensor fusion algorithms combine inputs from multiple data-driven classifiers to achieve maximum performance. A combination of semi-automated training data management and transfer learning allows to mix small real-world datasets with data generated in photorealistic simulation environments. This strategy helps to cover rare edge-cases before they actually happen and ensure safe operation and deployment.

Ready for unstructured and dynamic environments

Scalable

The world around autonomous industrial vehicles changes every day and represents a complex, unstructured terrain. The driveblocks technology does not rely on pre-scanned representations of the operating domain and therefore scales better to new areas, changing conditions and unknown situations. The drivable space and potential driving corridors are identified during operation by relying on advanced probabilistic fusion of multiple LIDAR and Camera sensors from various perspectives.
