This third milestone marks a significant step forward, showcasing the integration of FlatSat flight software and hardware subsystems, as well as successfu]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 11:49:31 GMT Many behavioral studies suggest that using landmarks to navigate through large-scale spaces - known as map-based navigation - is not established until around age 12. A neuroscience study at Emory University counters that assumption. Through experiments combining brain scans and a virtual environment the researchers dubbed Tiny Town, they showed that five-year-olds have the brain system tha]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 11:49:31 GMT Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) has launched a new capability for its Siteworks Machine Guidance Module that integrates tilt bucket attachments into its field software suite. This enhancement enables construction crews to execute advanced grading, ditch shaping, backfilling, and complex slope tasks with greater speed and accuracy. The integration delivers superior control of the bucket's cutting edge thr]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 11:49:31 GMT Rx Networks Inc., a leader in global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data services, has announced the debut of TruePoint FOCUS, a cloud-powered correction platform that provides near-instantaneous centimeter-level accuracy for positioning applications. Engineered for precision-driven industries, TruePoint FOCUS caters to use cases that require consistent real-time accuracy. It supports ]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 11:49:31 GMT You don't need a GPS to find the home turf of the Amazon's most famous resident, Brazilian Chief Raoni Metuktire. As you approach his Capoto/Jarina Indigenous territory in Mato Grosso state, large single-crop farms of soybean or maize give way to lush, verdant rainforest. This is the epicenter of a half-century battle led by the globe-trotting activist against illegal miners and loggers]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 11:49:31 GMT Sierra Space has successfully showcased its Resilient GPS (R-GPS) satellite technology, a critical advancement for the U.S. Space Force's efforts to strengthen national defense through more robust navigation systems. Developed in partnership with General Dynamics Mission Systems, the demonstration validated the generation of all necessary GPS navigation signals for the R-GPS mission, addressing ]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 11:49:31 GMT Efficient shipping routes are vital for Germany's economy, especially in and around the Baltic Sea. However, maritime operations remain vulnerable to disruptions in satellite navigation systems such as GPS or Europe's Galileo. Such failures can cause vessel navigation displays to lose position data or worse, deliver false coordinates, increasing the likelihood of accidents. To counter thes]]> Mon, 26 May 2025 11:49:31 GMT Carbon Robotics has unveiled Carbon AutoTractor, a new autonomy system that transforms conventional tractors into driverless machines, monitored and managed in real time by trained human operators.
