Autonomous navigation systems have a visibility problem: radar, AIS and electronic charts provide critical information, but each has blind spots. SEA.AI and maritime navigation specialist Anschütz are attempting to close part of that gap by integrating AI-powered optical and thermal object detection into the Autonomics Navigation Suite, adding a machine-vision layer designed to identify small…
AI in hearing aids has largely focused on one problem: reducing background noise.
