1 — Perrone Robotics
Perrone Robotics, Inc. (PRI), based in Crozet, Virginia, was formed in 2003 and has been developing mobile autonomous robotics solutions ever since. Early development work focused on making it easier to configure and program robots. Then, in 2005, we took on the DARPA Grand Challenge and 2 years later the DARPA Urban Challenge. Our MAX full-stack robotics software platform was put to the test demonstrating a rapid and robust means for building fully autonomous ground vehicles during both challenges. These challenges were established by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to accelerate the development of fully-autonomous ground vehicle technology. PRI’s entries competed very well against much larger and better-funded efforts which helped us understand the strengths and work to be done on the MAX platform.
2 — EasyMile
Founded in 2014, EasyMile is a high-tech startup specialised in providing both software powering autonomous vehicles and the last mile smart mobility solutions. The company is headquartered in Toulouse (France) with offices in Singapore , Denver (USA) and Berlin (Germany). EasyMile, with its workforce of more than 100 passionate employees, is a privately held company with Alstom (systems, equipment and services for the transport sector) and Continental (automotive manufacturing )as shareholders.
3 — Oxbotica
Oxbotica, a leading autonomous software company based in Oxford, is bringing self-driving technology to the roads, ports, mines, roads, forests, quarries of the world (and even to Mars!). Our autonomous operating system, Selenium, is platform agnostic and navigates autonomously around cities, warehouses and off-road environments, using data from lasers and cameras placed on vehicles. Originally founded in 2014 as a spin-out of Oxford University’s Oxford Robotics Institute, Oxbotica helps its clients integrate over 200 man years’ worth of work in autonomy into their own products.
4 — StreetDrone
StreetDrone is a development platform for self-driving, electric car software and hardware. Aimed primarily at the higher education market, the StreetDrone Intelligent Development platform (SID) will be the largest open source of autonomous software in the world, whilst the StreetDrone is a self-drive ready electric car on which the software can be tested. Designed as a shared, open R&D platform, StreetDrone provides the hardware and software to bring autonomous development to the masses.
5 — PrecisionHawk
PrecisionHawk is a global leader in developing and integrating commercial drone technology. With market analysts expecting businesses to spend $13 billion on drones over the next three years, we are focused on the opportunity ahead! With operations across six continents, our mission is to provide a complete platform (flight, mapping, tracking and analysis) for businesses to fly and analyze data using advanced drone technology.
6 — Navmii
Navmii is designed to make driving better by helping you find the best route, get directions, avoid traffic, find convenient parking or even other places of interest. It even lets you know how well you drive by providing you with a personalised dashboard with your driving score and trip metrics. Navmii puts live traffic, easy to follow maps, points of interest and other fab features like real-time hazard reporting, digital speedometer, localised search and safety camera/ speed limit alerts all at your finger tips.
7 — Civil Maps
At Civil Maps, we believe that efficient, safe mobility can revolutionize the way we live and interact with the world around us. To reach this future, we provide autonomous vehicles with cognition, enabling them to crowdsource 3D maps and make better decisions for safe driving. Our first milestones include providing real-time, localization in six dimensions and producing augmented reality maps, to be used by AVs and humans. Our process of questioning established methods and our artificial intelligence expertise allow us to define the mobility solutions of the future.
8 — ClearMotion
ClearMotion is a global automotive technology company founded out of MIT in 2009. The company is commercializing the world’s first super-active ride system to improve the quality of time spent in cars. ClearMotion is a proactive ride system that transforms the foundation of cars- ride and handling. It does for motion what noise cancelling does for noise, mitigating road inputs within a fraction of a second. The resulting combination of extraordinary comfort, crisp handling and secure stability is unmatched.`
9 — FiveAI
FiveAI is building the world’s most reliable autonomous vehicle software stack to solve the most difficult problem of all — delivering a solution that’s safe in complex urban environments, without any driver involvement. That’s defined as the top level in autonomy — 5. Our solution will enable safe, cost effective urban mobility for all and we’ll be announcing our plans to deliver it to consumers in staged deployments across our cities and towns as we grow.
10 — BestMile
BestMile is revolutionizing mobility by providing the first platform allowing for the intelligent operation and optimization of autonomous vehicle fleets, regardless of their brand or type. Using cutting-edge algorithms, the platform sends optimized missions to the vehicles and seamlessly handles planning, dispatching, routing, and battery charging management. BestMile also provides both front-end and back-end interfaces for operators and passengers, such as mobile and web applications.
