- Real-time Processing: Implement real-time data processing pipelines to ensure rapid and accurate perception feedback to the ASV's control system
- MLops: Collaborate with data annotation teams to create labeled datasets for training and validation of perception algorithms
- Performance Optimization: Optimize perception algorithms for efficient use of computational resources, ensuring they meet the real-time requirements of autonomous navigation
- Testing and Validation: Conduct extensive testing and validation of perception systems in simulated and real-world maritime environments, identifying and addressing issues as they arise
- Documentation: Maintain comprehensive documentation of perception software, including code, algorithms, and test results
- Collaboration: Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including hardware engineers, control engineers, and navigation experts, to integrate perception systems into the ASVs
- Stay Current: Keep abreast of the latest advancements in computer vision, sensor technologies, and machine learning to continually improve and adapt perception systems
Our take
Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are vehicles which operate at the surface of the water without a crew and can be used in oceanography and environmental monitoring, as well as for cargo transport or military applications. Saronic is a company developing USVs to have enhanced awareness and improved survivability, to be employed in maritime security.
Saronic's vehicles are designed to be smarter than previous models, with capabilities including adaptive path planning, multichannel communication, and the ability to better identify and track targets through a combination of passive sensors and advanced algorithms. The company has raised significant funding that will be used to accelerate R&D as it expands manufacturing capacity in anticipation of demand for rapid production in the future.
