Release Notes

FFM Beta Version 3.0 (Released 06/15/2024)

Our latest FFM beta version 3.0 is able to process visual context, process audio, and understand the context and semantics of the world at a higher level. Highlights of this release include:

  • Intelligent Self-Recharging: Our robots now feature sophisticated self-recharging capabilities, even in unfamiliar environments. Leveraging advanced AI, they intelligently navigate back to their docking stations for recharging as needed, enabling more seamless and uninterrupted operations.

  • Intelligent Planning and Safety: Our latest updates to the traversability and AI-driven decision making ensure safer, more reliable robot operations. These improvements deliver unparalleled performance, increasing standards in safety and reliability.

  • Smart Dashboard and Visual Insights: Our state-of-the-art dashboard is now equipped with real-time communication signal monitoring and advanced visual insights including environmental semantic understanding and visualization of our AI's intents and plans. These capabilities provide a clearer and more comprehensive view of the robot's intentions, enhancing user awareness and operational efficiency.

  • Optimized Dataset Management: Streamlined methods now make uploading datasets more efficient and user-friendly, revolutionizing your data management process.

FFM Beta Version 2.0 (03/15/2024)

FFM beta version 2.0 is now released, featuring an even broader operational domain. This beta version is now deployed on all our robots worldwide, improving both customer experience and data delivery alongside enhanced mobility capabilities.

  • Intelligent mission-critical waypointing: Robots now intelligently select optimal waypoints that simultaneously prioritize mission efficiency and safety for the specific designated mission.

  • Contextually-aware adaptivity: Robots will now conduct contextually-aware maneuvers when encountering obstacles (e.g., blocked hallways that were previously open). If a path is impassable, the robot will leverage its contextual knowledge to prioritize alternative mission components and re-evaluate accordingly, ensuring mission continuity without human intervention.

  • Continually-improving situational awareness: Pipeline now continually learns and improves traversability models from one mission to the next, enabling robots to build an evolving understanding of their operational domain.

  • 5G-powered telepresence & enhanced accessibility: Robots can now be remotely connected to and controlled via 5G, allowing for real-time, high-fidelity telepresence, whether you are at home or on-site.

  • Intelligent visual data capture & integration: The automated pipeline for photo and data capture has been upgraded to include intelligent postprocessing (including denoising, deblurring, brightening, etc.). This, combined with improved integration with 3rd party photo capture tools (e.g., StructionSite and ConstructN), allows robots to autonomously gather and analyze high-quality visual data, providing an even higher fidelity understanding of their environment for customers.

FFM Beta Version 1.3 (11/15/2023)

FFM beta version 1.3 released and deployed on all our robots worldwide, with an expanded operational domain that tackles more complex environments and terrains. Enhanced data outputs, including advanced visuals and 3D maps, now offer richer insights to customers.

  • Customer command center: The new Field AI web application offers a centralized hub for securely accessing and managing your robotic fleet and data. Gain real-time insights, schedule data collection missions, and connect with third-party analysis platforms for deeper intelligence extraction. Also, leverage telepresence capabilities to directly control robots and define mission parameters, all from a user-friendly web interface.

  • Next-generation payload: Our new payload design is lighter, stronger, and 50% smaller, allowing for seamless integration with a wider range of robotic platforms, including legged and wheeled models. This increased adaptability ensures maximized deployment options for diverse mission scenarios.

  • AI-powered quick mapping: Our streamlined Quick Map mission minimizes setup time. Simply define restricted zones and areas of interest, and our autonomy stack enables your robot to map the environment, providing a comprehensive data capture solution for rapid site analysis.

  • Automated inspection missions: Our advanced Inspection missions allow for intelligent navigation and execution of desired actions at designated locations (including high-resolution photo capture, 3D scanning, patrolling, and more).

  • Streamlined Downstream Intelligence with Naska.AI: We're thrilled to announce our new partnership and integration with Naska.AI, a leading platform for construction error monitoring and progress tracking. Now, data captured by Field AI-enabled robots can be seamlessly synced with Naska, providing you with real-time actionable insights to optimize workflows and identify potential issues before they impact project timelines.
