Dual Use

Besides Undersea Technology, the same use case of accurately identifying and tagging objects in images in real time occurs across a variety of existing commercial and federal use cases.

Room Service - Cornell Tech

A domestic service robot navigates autonomously through cluttered living spaces to perform everyday chores. Using real-time bounding-box detection, it can:

  • Locate & Retrieve Laundry: Spot socks, shirts, and towels on the floor or in hampers.
  • Load & Unload Dishes: Recognize plates, cups, and utensils at various angles to place them in a dishwasher or cabinets.

Army - AI Grand Challenge

A high-throughput system analyzes aerial or ground imagery to detect hostile assets with sub-second turnaround. It provides:

  • Tank & Armored Vehicle Identification: Classify and localize main battle tanks, APCs, and support vehicles.
  • Watercraft & Amphibious Units: Recognize landing craft, patrol boats, and pontoons even under camouflage.

NGA - Satellite Imaging

A satellite-based detection pipeline ingests very high-resolution imagery for national mapping and intelligence. Capabilities include:

  • Wide-Area Object Scanning: Sweep thousands of square kilometers to flag structures, vehicles, and container shipments.
  • Error & Mislabel Identification: Cross-validate existing geospatial databases and highlight labeling inconsistencies.

New York Subway - Public Safety Identification

An embedded camera network scans passenger flows in real time to detect threats and unsafe behavior. Features include:

  • Weapon Recognition: Spot knives, firearms, and improvised weapons concealed on persons or in bags.
  • Anomalous Behavior Detection: Identify crowd surges, loitering, or individuals entering restricted zones.
