Robotic Assistance Devices Receives First Order of Previously Received Letter of Intent for ROAMEO Mobile Security Robot

/in


HENDERSON, Nev.–()–Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (OTCPK:AITX), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices Inc. (RAD) has received an order from one of its authorized dealers for RAD’s ROAMEO 2.0 (Rugged Observation Assistance Mobile Electronic Officer). This dealer had committed to up to 20 ROAMEO units in a prior Letter of Intent (LOI).

This first of several expected ROAMEO units will be deployed within a major Hollywood studio whose name cannot be disclosed due to existing non-disclosure agreements.

“ROAMEO, being the first mobile device that is part of the RAD system of devices, is on track for many amazing deployments,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX and RAD. “Receiving this order during the first week of ROAMEO 2.0’s public tour was great. We expect to regularly announce more ROAMEO orders as we convert LOIs to firm orders and inevitably close more deals with other prestigious clients.”

ROAMEO 2.0 was unveiled to the public at last week’s NCS4 Conference in Phoenix, Arizona to an audience of spectator sport security executives. Due to the overwhelming reception of ROAMEO at NCS4, another conference at the same resort, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers requested an appearance of ROAMEO at their keynote address. Later this week, ROAMEO will be on exhibit at the IAAPA Expo, beginning November 16th in Orlando, Florida.

The company confirmed that the nation’s continuing labor shortage is forcing security services dealers and forward-thinking end users to seek alternatives to manned security guard positions. These alternatives include the use of autonomous, AI-driven robotic solutions. ROAMEO is a mobile security robot that is nearly 7 ft. tall and weighs over 700 lbs. According to the company, ROAMEO is built to autonomously patrol a property or periphery and survey its surroundings, conducting routine patrols, recording, and reporting back to the central command center.

Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD) is a high-tech start-up that delivers robotics and artificial intelligence-based solutions that empower organizations to gain new insight, solve complex security…

USD Math Department Receives $4.5 Million Award from the U.S. Department of Defense, Could Be Largest Award to USD with Grant Extension

By: Nicholas Stineman

Dr. Michael Shulman, associate professor of mathematics at the University of San Diego College of Arts and Sciences, has received a $4.5 million award from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD)’s Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

The grant, which supports the work of Dr. Shulman and his research collaborators across the country, will extend over three years, with a $1.5 million allotment in the first year.  The DOD can fund the entire program by extending the research for another two years, which would result in a total of $7.5 million in grant funding; this would be the largest grant award in the history of the University of San Diego.

As a part of the grant, Dr. Shulman and his collaborators will be researching the theoretical foundations of computer programming that help mathematicians verify their work by checking mathematical proofs, and therefore, providing confidence in the correctness of a theory.  Not a math or computer person? In simpler terms, the team will be developing formal mathematical systems (“homotopy type theories”) that will assist computers in verifying the correctness of a mathematical proof or a computer program.

According to Dr. Shulman, this sort of formal system is “being used more and more”, including in “real production code”.  Shulman said that this is especially important “in really critical code such as aircraft autopilots”, or “cryptographic software, where you really don’t want there to be a hole for a hacker to get in.”  Given the increasing importance of cyber warfare and cyber defense, research such as this is crucial.

Dr. Shulman’s research team extends across the country, including Professors Steven Awodey and Robert Harper at Carnegie Mellon University, Daniel R. Licata at Wesleyan University, Emily Riehl at Johns Hopkins University, and Kuen-Bang Hou (Favonia) at the University of Minnesota, and their students and postdocs. At USD, the funding will support 13 student fellowships through the life of the project, who will get hands-on experience and the mentorship of Dr. Shulman.

Needless to say, Dr. Shulman’s hard work and dedication has resulted in…
