Get ready to meet the challenge Finally, a large-scale migration of robotic devices and handle encounters with other pieces of into the open world poses unique challenges for equipment. Using Microsoft Azure to process data development and testing of solutions. It’s an area collected by devices and simulate future behavior that demands a combinatorial approach to testing; allows Toyota to dramatically reduce the six months a commitment to continued data collection and to a year that they would otherwise spend on 17 refinement of solutions after devices are in use; automated guided vehicle implementation. and for solutions whose fully autonomous time has not yet come, early experimentation that will UPS is using TuSimple, an autonomous trucking inform large-scale rollouts when the technology startup, to move cargo between Phoenix and 18 and regulations allow. Tucson, Arizona. The system isn’t fully autonomous; it’s locked to a geographic location and a safety In the self-driving car industry, companies are driver and engineer are always on board. But it exploring ways of finding and accounting for edge is clear where UPS is headed. The company also cases in autonomous operation through simulation. created a subsidiary called UPS Flight Forward to Waymo, Alphabet’s self-driving car business, has oversee future drone operations, and is seeking logged 10 million real-world driving miles so far, government approval to launch an unmanned 16 19 but it has simulated 10 billion more. Microsoft is drone delivery service. partnering with Toyota to develop digital twins for intelligent forklifts, allowing Toyota to simulate how an autonomous forklift will navigate an environment
