Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (also known by the acronym ASI) was founded in 2000 as a spinoff from Utah State University and is headquartered in Petersboro, Utah. Autonomous Solutions (or ASI) manufactures an OEM/vendor independent automation technology that retrofits to existing equipment. The system uses GPS, radio, and software technologies to create a fully autonomous vehicle. ASI has installations in the mining, farming, automotive, and military industries. ==History== * Autonomous Solutions was founded in 2000 when it broke off from the Center for Self-Organizing and Intelligent Systems (CSOIS) division of Utah State University in Logan, Utah, to develop precision agriculture technologies for John Deere. The company first moved to Wellsville, Utah, and then in 2007 relocated to Petersboro, Utah. The Petersboro headquarters is a 100 acre proving ground facility where hardware engineering, software engineering, and much of the robotics testing takes place. * In 2003, ASI released the first version of the Mobius command and control software, previously known as MARS. This proprietary software system allows engineers and end users to control fully autonomous vehicles, set and manipulate vehicle pathways, and monitor vehicle health indicators from a remote command station. The software is currently on its 6th version. * In 2006, Autonomous Solutions entered the mining industry offering a vendor independent solution to mining end users. Mining is currently one of ASI's four premier markets. * ASI participates in the DARPA Grand Challenge (2007). * In 2011, ASI-led team wins the Robotic Range Clearance Competition (R2C2). sponsored by the US-Department of Defense. * In 2011, ASI entered the automotive market with specific offerings for automotive proving grounds for autonomous durability and endurance testing. In June 2013, Ford Motor Company announced that it had been working with ASI as their preferred automation supplier for their robotic durability testing program. The program runs durability tests 24/7 with the use of ASI vehicle automation technology and was specifically launched to remove human durability drivers from Ford's most punishing durability tracks. * On June 14, 2013, Ford Motor Company releases a press release to the New York Times that highlights their robotic durability testing program. Ford announces Autonomous Solutions as their preferred automation supplier for the proving ground automation project. * On December 15, 2014, ASI announced a multi-year partnership with mining major Anglo American that was already under way to develop an autonomous haulage program. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Autonomous Solutions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
