Humanoid Robotics

Firstly, Intelligent Earth's primary test platform for artificial intelligence sensing applications is Doki™. You can read a bit about Doki™ elsewhere on this website. Go see Doki™.

Guided machinery

IE personnel are currently investigating the provision of the latest interfaces for guiding machinery including Intelligent Earth's new virtual reality immersive interface incorporating the Company's proprietary Virtual Window™ software.

The interface can be incorporated into bomb disposal robots, mine clearing, and disaster rescue robots for earthquake, fire, and flood.

Allied to this immersive technology for merging the senses of the operator with the machinery/robot being controlled, and incidently including some interesting psychology of body proprioceptive sensing malleability, is the application of the Company's HOLOS™ technology to robot self-awareness. Intelligent Earth research personnel are also looking at machine detection and tracking of other machinery using HOLOS™.

Airborne Reconnaisance

Intelligent Earth's new emergent pattern recognition software for realtime object classification and identification from airborne platforms is also a research focus. We are working on equipping various aerial platforms with the right software for automatic identification and image collection to assist operator eyeballing.

Our favourite platform at the moment is the MD4 series of microdrones being marketed by Microdrones GmBH of Kreuztal, Germany. The microdrone is based on work on the AirQuad by Professor Gert F. Trommer of the University of Karlsruhe (coincidently alma mater of Intelligent Earth Software Director, Stefan Veeser, who was a member of the robotics group at Karlsruhe).

Intelligent Earth personnel are currently working with a UK Police Force developing software to run on the microdrone's camera system to assist with orientation and evidence collection.
