Australian companies Exail and Aurizn have signed a strategic technology partnership focused on the potential application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in naval robotics.
Adelaide-based Aurizn’s experience in complex maritime simulation and underwater sensing will be implemented to integrate and update Exail’s naval robotics technology suite.
“Partnering with Exail allows us to apply our Australian-based capabilities in simulation, sensors and AI,” said Bjorn Wharff, Director of Strategy at Aurizn.
“This collaboration will enhance and future proof Exail’s naval robotics solution, bolstering its ability to meet the specific requirements of the Australian naval forces.”
The companies aim to collaborate on autonomous system development, investigating the use of AI and ML in signal processing, situational awareness and decision support.
“Working with Aurizn is a critical step in establishing a sustainable, Australian-focused industry capability around our naval robotics technology,” said Daniel Scourzic, Exail’s MCM & Deep Water Product Line Director.
“Our goal is to provide long-term support to the Royal Australian Navy with our advanced solutions. We are focused on enhancing and tailoring our naval technology offerings to the specific needs and challenges of Australia.”
