Autonomous Solutions, Inc. Unveils Expanded Unmanned Vehicle Test Track at Its Headquarters
ASI completes new facilities expansion to grow the testing of mining, automotive, agriculture and other robots.
PETERSBORO, UTAH September 22, 2015
This expansion includes a tripling of the test tracks and the creation of more realistic urban scenarios with the needed signage and road striping to develop and test new driverless vehicle algorithms.
"This new facility expansion is critical in the support of our new partners. Our proving ground is a test city, its a test mine, its a test farm field. We have built into our facility all of these different environments to enable rapid development and rigorous 24/7 product verification and validation testing." says Mel Torrie, ASI co-founder and CEO.
"This facility expansion not only allows us to do more testing, but also provides more office space for the quickly growing engineering team," says Mr. Torrie.
ASI is currently automating testing for three of the five big automotive companies in Detroit and is expanding into Europe and China with partnerships starting in January. Other markets like Mining, Automotive, Agriculture, and Construction leverage the same underlying robotics platform foundation but have different "apps" that are customized to the unique needs of each.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
