en.Wedoany.com Reported - Intelligent aircraft manufacturer AIR has completed the first flight of its production model AIR Cargo-Heavy Lift UAS, one of the world's largest unmanned platforms with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability. With a payload capacity of 550 pounds, the aircraft is designed for demanding logistics missions, including commercial cargo transport, logistics in contested environments, remote resupply, and humanitarian aid. Its enhanced autonomy and flight logic enable reliable, repeatable mission execution with minimal human intervention.
Bot Auto has completed a fully unmanned commercial truck freight run on public highways. The 230-mile route, from Riggy's Truck Parking in northeast Houston to Safe Stop in Hutchins near Dallas, marks Bot Auto's first commercial freight delivery completed without a safety driver, without reliance on low-latency remote human feedback, and without an in-cab observer. Bot Auto's brokerage partner, Ryan Transportation, booked the overnight route to support a shipper with tight delivery deadlines.
Lloyd's Register has partnered with Orca AI to evaluate AI navigation technology in a real ship trial. The global professional services group conducted the trial on a feeder container vessel, sailing for five days through the busiest shipping lanes in the Mediterranean Sea, from the port of Gioia Tauro in Italy to Marsaxlokk in Malta. The trial tested the system's target detection performance in coordination with radar, the Automatic Identification System, and visual lookout. Orca AI's SeaPod computer vision unit achieved a precision rate of 94% (detecting 635 "true positives" out of 739 targets) and a recall rate of 98.6%, detecting nearly all relevant objects. The system experienced zero downtime during the voyage, indicating the feasibility of broader AI adoption and, ultimately, autonomous shipping.
California-based startup Humble Robotics has built a prototype of a cab-less autonomous electric Class 8 truck, promising to reduce costs and improve payload efficiency. Manufactured in less than six months, the prototype is an electric trailer customizable for logistics applications. The electric platform can adapt to cargo types, logistics environments, and obstacles, featuring a universal lock and twist interface that allows operators to lengthen or shorten the platform. Equipped with a Level 4 sensor suite, it is designed to transport containers between terminals without human intervention.
