出于对雷达传感器系统开发的关注，北美斗山山猫已与位于堪萨斯州的初创雷达技术公司Ainstein AI进行了战略股权投资。

山猫公司全球创新副总裁乔尔·霍尼曼（Joel Honeyman）说：“雷达将提高设备性能，并通过传感器技术为我们的客户提供最佳的生产率和更好的操作员体验。”

自2020年6月起，山猫和Ainstein AI一直在合作。双方打算在使用山猫设备时“创建用于探测物体的下一代雷达传感器解决方案”。目前，Ainstein AI已开发出一种收集物体位置数据的系统。

通过结合毫米波雷达（一种用于检测物体并提供这些物体的距离、速度和角度的传感技术）技术、传感器融合和人工智能，该系统可向操作员提供实时警报。山猫说，该技术将为支持未来的自动驾驶避障解决方案和技术提供支持。

New BobCAT partnership points to future autonomous machines

by Marcia Gruver Doyle Pix

With an eye toward developing radar sensor systems, Doosan BobCAT North America says it has formed a strategic equity investment with Lawrence, Kansas-based Ainstein AI, a startup radar technologies company.

"Radar will enhance equipment performance and provide our customers with optimal productivity and the ultimate operator experience through sensor technology," says Joel Honeyman, vice president of global innovation at BobCAT.

BobCAT and Ainstein have been working together since June 2020. The two intend to "create next-generation radar sensor solutions to detect objects" while using BobCAT equipment. Ainstein has developed a system that collects object position data, such as range, azimuth, elevation and doppler information.

The system then provides real-time alerts to operators by using a combination of mmWave radar (a sensing technology for detection of objects and providing the range, velocity and angle of these objects), sensor fusion and artificial intelligence. BobCAT says the technology will enable obstacle avoidance solutions and technologies that support future autonomous operations.
