Extended Reality Meets Autonomous Vehicle Monitoring: Guident and XRF Execute Strategic Partnership

/EIN News/ -- Boca Raton, FL, Aug. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Guident Corp. (“Guident”) and XRF (“XRF”) have entered into a strategic partnership to integrate XRF's cutting-edge solution with Guident’s Remote Monitor and Control Center (RMCC) platform. This partnership combines XRF’s advanced extended reality (XR) software with Guident’s RMCC software stack, transforming real-time monitoring into a fully immersive “virtual command center.” This innovative setup enables the visualization of autonomous robots and Autonomous Vehicles (AV) fleet location, health metrics, and other key performance indicators (KPIs) from anywhere.

The virtual command center leverages XR technologies, including Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). A 3D digital twin model is created for the fixed routes, their environments, and each autonomous vehicle in the fleet, accurately reflecting the operational design domain.

By merging these technologies, the solution provides comprehensive situational awareness, enabling remote, immediate, and effective responses to various scenarios. These immersive tools are ideal for monitoring AV fleets, simulation, testing, and staff training.

In training mode, the platform transforms into an interactive learning environment, offering simulations to practice and refine various scenarios, including emergency response skills. With customizable modules, this solution ensures effective and targeted training.

The companies plan to launch the integrated XRF immersive extended reality solution with Guident’s RMCC software to customers in North America in the second half of 2024.

“Our partnership with Guident allows us to introduce an innovative solution for real-time managing of autonomous robots and AV fleets. By integrating XRF software with Guident’s RMCC, fleet operators can monitor and respond to situations more effectively. The interactive training mode offers an exciting way to develop skills and prepare for multiple scenarios. We’re eager to bring this combined solution to market,” said XRF's CEO Gustavo Medina.

“The partnership between Guident and XRF represents a significant step forward in developing safe, smart, and sustainable transportation solutions for communities. We are excited to launch the XRF solution coupled with Guident’s RMCC software, which extends the monitoring of autonomous robots and vehicles worldwide through extended reality technologies,” said Fabio Tylim, VP of Business Development at Guident Corp.
