KVH Announces Webinar Series on Sensor Fusion Solutions for Unmanned and Autonomous Systems
November 03 2016 - 1:19PM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI), announced today that it is
launching a webinar series focusing on the advantages and benefits
of sensor fusion as used in specific real-world unmanned and
autonomous systems. Each webinar will feature discussions of how
KVH’s fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based inertial sensors have been
integrated into successful navigation and control applications
operating in subsea and maritime surface environments, in the air,
and on land. KVH is sponsoring the webinars as part of
IEEE’s Tech Insider series,
http://spectrum.ieee.org/webinars, which features industry experts
discussing technology advances.
The first webinar, “Realizing New Potentials in Miniature Subsea
Robotics,” is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 2 pm (EST), and
will feature Ben Kinnaman, CEO and president of
Greensea Systems, Inc., https://greenseainc.com,
who will review the sensor fusion-based navigation and control
solutions developed by Greensea for various subsea robotics
platforms. The Greensea navigation solutions utilize KVH’s 1750
inertial measurement unit (IMU) to process large amounts of data
derived from the numerous sensors used in the navigation system.
Together with Sean McCormack, KVH’s director of FOG and OEM sales,
Mr. Kinnaman will present field results demonstrating advanced
navigation and automation for miniature underwater robotics, and
establish a realistic vision for next-generation vehicle
technologies.
The 60-minute free webinar allows attendees to submit questions;
they will also have the opportunity to earn continuing education
certificates from IEEE. To register for the Nov. 8 webinar, please
visit IEEE’s Tech Insider website,

The second webinar, scheduled for December 6, at 2 p.m. (EST),
also an IEEE Tech Insider event, will feature Dr. Jeff Fayman,
chief technology officer of Geodetics, Inc.,
http://geodetics.com, an advanced sensing and navigation company
based in San Diego. Dr. Fayman will describe the company’s
sensor-integrated solutions for in-air refueling of autonomous
aerial platforms. These Geodetics solutions integrate various
inertial sensors, including KVH’s 1750 inertial measurement unit
(IMU).
The third webinar is planned for a January 2017 date on a topic
related to ground-based unmanned and autonomous platforms
successfully utilizing sensor fusion-based navigation and
positioning solutions.
KVH’s FOGs and FOG-based inertial products are on the cutting
edge of sensor fusion-based navigation, guidance, and positioning
solutions. They are in use in production programs for a wide range
of commercial applications, including underwater unmanned vehicle
navigation, rail/track geometry measurement systems, land-based
street mapping platforms, unmanned aerial systems, camera
stabilization systems, and remotely operated subsea systems. KVH’s
FOGs and FOG-based IMUs are also in use in numerous prototype
programs for autonomous cars.
