Joining us this week is Richard Primeaux, Head of Product and Strategy, Hangar Technology.

About Hangar Technology

Hangar, headquartered in Austin, TX, with a mission to unify the full stack of software essential to power autonomous robotics-as-a-system. A platform to be implemented for the empowerment of an array of capital, construction, and infrastructure support industries–the industries that are a cornerstone of the world’s economy and constitute the largest single component of the USA’s GDP.

Today, Hangar is a foremost leader in this promising transformation fueled by advances in mobile robotics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence that are ushering in a new age of autonomicity — and most likely a whole new computer epoch; one where mobile cognitive machines match, outperform or enhance human performance in a range of work activities—the “Cognitive Era.”

Highlights

  • Cars are the wrong choice for autonomous vehicles – test out on autonomous drones for infrastructure projects (e.g. new buildings, cell towers, …)
  • Mission plans delivered to drone for execution as a robot
  • What is a robot? Difficult – Dangerous – High Degree of Repeatability – Dull Tasks
  • Robot is controlled from program that is run independent of a controller
  • 4-D visual insights delivered to customers
  • Robotics as a System ~ requires a great deal of components for success; not just electronics
