Over the course of the last year the Danish Maritime Fund (Den Danske Maritime Fond) has supported Sensemakers in developing a docking station prototype for our unmanned USV. Here's the short version of the story: Back in 2023 after some different USV experiments in the Baltic Sea we realised it would not be feasible to integrate enough solar panels directly on our boat to charge directly from the sun. The solar panels compromised our ability to sail properly, so they had to be left behind... Since then the idea of a docking station for automatic recharging was born. A safe haven in a harbour where our USV can go once a day for recharging or seeking cover in case of a storm coming. Great concept, but also difficult, costly and with lots of unknowns. So it wasn't before we received a vital, financial support from the Danish Maritime fund, that the idea could start to be realised. After lot's of hard work with laser welding, water proofing and testing floating docking methods, we are therefore very happy that we have succesfully managed to turn a cool idea into a functioning prototype. If you want to hear more about this new piece to the puzzle of a fully autonomous environmental USV we suggest you stop by at the Maritime Innovation Zone at Digital Tech Summit in Copenhagen the 30th and 31st of October where Sensemakers has a stand. And a great thanks to the Danish Maritime Fund for supporting also early stage startup ideas such as this. It means a world of difference! 🚀 #digitaltechsummit #techsummit #maritimeinnovation #senseboat Kirsten Weede Marianne Lindahl Peter Karlshøj Lone Reppien Thomsen Jakob Brömauer Carl Andreasen Bjørn Kaae

Alongside NASCAR racer Takuma Koga, Macnica showcased our cutting-edge technology in the mobility sector through an EEG demonstration recently. As part of our sponsorship, we utilized our InnerEye technology, powered by AI, to gather and analyze brainwaves. This involved gathering drivers’ biometric data, particularly brainwave activity, even in extreme conditions. Additionally, we utilized #intdash for car data collection and Kokoromil for capturing the driver's electrocardiogram. Furthermore, analyzing those data allows us to understand drivers' concentration levels, stress, and other factors crucial for accident prevention and ensuring a comfortable driving experience. This collaboration with Mr. Koga marks a significant step in Macnica’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and enhancing driving experiences for all. Join us to embark on this exciting journey with Mr. Koga! 🚀 #intdash #InnerEye #Kokoromil #smartmobility #brainai #dataanalytics #TakumaKoga #macnica #nascar #AI 🖱Check match schedule & result here: https://lnkd.in/gigDpAAq 🖱 Know more about Innereye: https://lnkd.in/gnDDEKan https://lnkd.in/gJA6xTrf

We’re sure you’ll find something that sparks your interest, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback on the new platform. In this week news video, Roberto explains the airdrop, shows a bit of the new marketplace, and as usual answers four fascinating questions from the SimFly community left at the Ask Me Anything section. One of the hot topics is about the two-timer system we’ve implemented for the licenses. Some of you have wondered why we have both a 24-hour and an 84-hour timer, and Roberto provided a great explanation of how this system allows different types of pilots to make the most of their flying time. Another great question brought up the possibility of integrating our online map with other networks like IVAO and VATSIM. This has been something we’ve always wanted to do, and while we haven’t yet implemented it, Roberto shared that it is very much in the plans. Roberto also touched on the topic of multi-flight missions. Many of you have been asking if we can enable missions that require traveling between multiple airports or flights within the same mission. Lastly, a question was raised about our limited edition airplanes. Some of you have wondered whether those who missed out on purchasing them will ever have another chance. If you haven’t already, we invite you to check out Roberto’s full video, where he dives deeper into these topics and shares even more about what’s coming next for SimFly. The future is looking bright, and we’re excited to have you on this journey with us. Fly safe,  The SimFly Team SimFly – Take off and get more!

Interesting product #dronebrella for those who need to be mobile and have free hands whilst walking or sitting. Interesting concept but may not be for mass-scale adoption as it would be prohibitively expensive and can deliver value for specific needs - say in a corporate setting for a brief walk across campuses. But for a mass-scale use, due to need for power, and drone capabilities, it can be challenging to use. What do you think? #krpoints #technology

[MVL DePIN Phase 2, TADA Trip Matching Status] Hello, this is the MVL team. We’re excited to share that we’ve launched Phase 2 of the MVL DePIN platform, marking another step towards enhancing the transparency and accessibility of mobility data. In the first phase, we published the real-time location and driving data of over 600 ONiON vehicles on a map to prove the existence of vehicle assets and improve the transparency of mobility services. Building on this foundation, Phase 2 of MVL DePIN now features the trip matching status for TADA ride-sharing services throughout Southeast Asia. Real-time details of up to 30 trips are available at a time, including locations, times, driver registration numbers, and match statuses. This feature aims to foster greater trust in mobility services by making data openly available and promoting creative uses of this information. MVL DePIN website 👉 https://lnkd.in/geuwsuY2  Stay tuned for the continuous development of MVL. Thank you. Trust-Driven MVL
