Learn how cutting-edge robotics, autonomous systems and artificial intelligence are transforming sectors from logistics and mining to marine and space!
Inertial Navigation Systems for Air, Land, Sea & Space
Typical Day: Engineering minds come together to build smart technologies that allow autonomous systems to navigate the world without GPS.
Skills Needed: Robotics, machine learning, problem-solving, and a passion for exploration.
Tech of the Future: Underwater drones, flying taxis, and laser-based navigation systems for Moon-bound spacecraft 🚀
Exciting Projects: Developing technologies that help drones, driverless cars, submarines and spacecraft navigate challenging environments.
Your Pathway: Dive into robotics clubs, coding classes, and workshops.
We encourage and support girls in STEM
-
In the RoboSub competition, an all-female-students team named Desert WAVE built an underwater robot named Phoenix that could travel underwater and explore all on its own.
The team used Advanced Navigation’s Subsonus positioning system to talk to Phoenix underwater. This allowed the girls to give Phoenix different commands as it moved around the pool, such as picking up a swimming cap or a pair of goggles.
The Desert Wave team won third place with their robot Phoenix! You can check out their inspiring story here!
We are creating a stronger, healthier ocean
-
The ocean is full of excitement and mystery that we have yet to explore! Advanced Navigation’s underwater robot Hydrus makes it possible for us to ‘see’ the underwater world.
Hydrus can swim around and explore underwater without any help. It can capture stunning photos and videos of important things for ocean researchers to study such as coral reefs, fish, turtles and can even discover new places like underwater caves! Hydrus will help us understand how to better protect marine life, so we can have beautiful oceans that are healthy and strong.
We help drones communicate with each other
-
We help drones communicate with each other 🗣️ Drones are helping humans everywhere. We use them to spot koalas in bushfires, deliver food and medical supplies to people who live far away, and even spot sharks who swim near our beaches. Flying one drone is easy, but what if you’re on a life-saving mission and need to use ten or twenty drones to spot someone at sea?
Advanced Navigation’s drone platform allows you to do that.
Lifesavers can fly multiple drones across the beach, allowing the lifeguard at the control tower to view what each camera is seeing from their laptop. If there’s an emergency, such as an approaching shark or a lost person in the sea, the lifeguard on duty can send out lifesavers immediately.
Then & Now
🔙Then: GPS as the dominant form of navigation
🔜Now: Non-GPS navigation is the new norm 🌌
