ONE OF THE GIANTS OF ROBOTICS IS GONE.
Professor (emeritius), D.Sc.(Tech.) Aarne Halme
(29.05.1943 Helsinki – 07.02.2023 Espoo)
With deep sadness, GIM Robotics is announcing that its spiritual father, mentor, and co-founder, Professor (emeritius) Aarne Halme passed away on Tuesday February 7th, 2023 at the age of 79. Aarne was committed to GIM Robotics and to robotics in general all the way till the end. Last Thursday, less than a week before his death, Aarne participated in a face-to-face board meeting at the office, and was filled with plans for GIM’s next steps. Some of us have been travelling our robotics journey together with Aarne since the beginning of 1990’s, that is more than 30 years already. We are sure that everybody understands how big a loss Aarne’s departure is for the company and for us all personally. We will miss him dearly.

HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMERCIALIZE AUTONOMOUS OFF-HIGHWAY MACHINERY?
GIM Robotics is participating in the Autonomous Off-Highway Machinery Technology hybrid summit by Innovatrix International on February 23-24 in Berlin. The event is also available online.
We are proud sponsors of this interesting event, and we’ll send our CTO, José Luis Peralta, onsite to give a talk titled “Roadmap from Research to Commercialization of Autonomous Off-Highway Machinery”. Dr. Peralta will also participate in some of the panel discussions. Join us there and have a chat with Jose. It might save you a lot of time and money.

Map-based localization in a snowstorm with a LiDAR?
Localizing your mobile working machine or field & service robot in a heavy snowstorm with a normal LiDAR? Impossible, you might say. Well, think again. In the world of mobile robotics, you can pretty much do whatever you like, if you have the knowledge and the tools to use that knowledge.
If you live close to the Arctic Circle, you should definitely consider snowy conditions in your Operational Design Domain (ODD). Snow cover in Finland is still not yet a rare occurrence, but instead the normal situation for several months of the year - climate change and all.
For that reason, and for not doing things the easy way, we have considered the winter operation capabilities as one of our main objectives when developing advanced map-based localization algorithms. This short video demonstrates how well our algorithms are working in a proper snowstorm.
To learn more about our solutions, read about our participation (e.g., our CTO José Luis Peralta gives a presentation titled as “Fundamentals of Map-Based positioning for mobile machines in GNSS-challenged environments”) in Advanced Autonomous and Robotics Forum of NRMM (Non-Road Mobile Machinery) 22-23rd September 2022, in Frankfurt, Germany.
