Underwater drones reveal coral loss at one of the world’s southernmost reefs

by

Advanced Navigation, a specialist in navigation and autonomous systems, in collaboration with marine consultancy O2 Marine, has revealed an explicit visual depiction of Hall Bank – a small, nearshore reef off Fremantle in south-west Australia (32°S), located well beyond the typical latitudinal range for coral reefs.

Using Hydrus, a micro hovering autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), the teams conducted a detailed survey of the reef, capturing geo-referenced high-resolution imagery and 4K video in parallel.

The data showed severe coral bleaching and fragmentation, laying bare a hidden yet escalating crisis at one of the world’s southernmost reefs. [Read more…] about Underwater drones reveal coral loss at one of the world’s southernmost reefs

How AI is Changing the Way We Test Software

by

Software testing is a critical phase in the SDLC cycle across any domain, especially in the robotics and automation industry to ensure the performance, quality, reliability and usability of the software.

Over time as these systems have become more sophisticated conventional testing strategies have failed to keep up. Despite automated scripts supplementing manual testing, the process is often time-intensive, inflexible and prone to human oversight.

This hurdle paved the way for Artificial Intelligence enabled software testing. The technology helps make the process more accurate, efficient and faster. The tech has proved its mettle and has gained rapid adoption across the world. [Read more…] about How AI is Changing the Way We Test Software
