ACEINNA Teams Up with IEEE for a Special Webinar For Developers of Drones, Robots and AGVs
-How to Quickly & Easily Build Your Own Reliable, Inexpensive, and Precise Autonomous System -Scheduled for November 13 at 2pm EDT, 11am PDT
ACEINNA and IEEE GlobalSpec are providing a special technical how-to webinar for developers of autonomous systems - more precisely, how to affordably and quickly develop guidance, localization and navigation systems for drones, autonomous cars, robots, industrial AGVs, etc.
In this presentation, we will set up and install an easy-to-use open-source tool for developing precise navigation and control functions. The presentation will include a tutorial using an on-line navigation simulator, set up of free coding tools using the ACEINAA Visual Studio Code extension, algorithm development, debugging, and data-logging analysis.
By the end of the presentation, attendees will be familiar with these free software tools and can start development of a custom navigation solution using the latest precision OpenIMU hardware from ACEINNA.
In this webinar, attendees will:
• Learn how to cost-effectively develop highly accurate navigation, guidance and localization systems for autonomous vehicles.
• Understand how to quickly simulate navigation system performance using sensor error models and an on-line tool
• Set up and install OpenIMU tool chain
• Code a custom GPS/INS algorithm using C-code and Aceinna's extensive open-source algorithm libraries
• Download and debug a custom GPS/INS algorithm on an OpenIMU precision Inertial Measurement Unit
• Collect and analyze data from navigation hardware using free Python tools
The webinar will be led by Mike Horton, the Chief Technology Officer of ACEINNA. Mike oversees the development of ACEINNAs inertial and GNSS/INS-based navigation products. Prior to ACEINNA, Mike Horton was the President and CEO of Crossbow Technology, a pioneer in MEMS inertial sensor technology for high-accuracy navigation. Mike has over 15 patents. In addition to English, Mike is fluent in Mandarin Chinese. He is an active angel investor in Band of Angels and Sand Hill Angels.

Featured Product

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
