Cyngn Reveals First Footage of AI-Powered Autonomous Motrec Tugger

Cyngn will also showcase a DriveMod Tugger for the very first time at MODEX 2024, one of the largest premier material handling trade shows.

Cyngn Inc. (the "Company" or "Cyngn") (Nasdaq: CYN) is excited to share the first-ever video footage of our latest innovation: the AI-powered DriveMod Tugger. Designed for automating repetitive hauling workflows such as transferring finished goods or delivering supplies, this cutting-edge innovation marks a significant milestone in the integration of Cyngn's DriveMod technology with the MT-160 tow tractor from Motrec International Inc.


Cyngn will also showcase a DriveMod Tugger for the very first time at MODEX 2024, one of the largest premier material handling trade shows. Cyngn is attending alongside Motrec from March 11 to 14, in Atlanta, Georgia. The companies will exhibit the vehicle at Booth A13913, located in the Transportation and Logistics Solution Center in Hall A.

This first look video is a part of a previously announced partnership with Motrec to launch an industry-leading autonomous tugger, which boasts a 57-inch turn radius, a robust 6,000-pound towing capacity, and auto-unhitching capabilities. A motor controller upgrade is in progress that will increase the towing capacity to 12,000 pounds in the coming months.

The powerful material handling vehicles offered by Motrec, a globally recognized manufacturer of industrial vehicles, combined with Cyngn's advanced AI-driven autonomous technology, DriveMod, enable organizations to improve goods transportation cost-effectively and safely.

By integrating Cyngn's DriveMod technology for advanced autonomous operation, the DriveMod Tugger includes a range of valuable features for customers:

Multi-layer perception. Leverages DriveMods 360-degree robust methodology for detecting and classifying objects and obstacles that includes AI models, existence-based detection, and an emergency braking system.
Data analytics with Cyngn Insight. DriveMod Kit introduces sensors to log operational data that customers can access through Cyngn Insight's cloud-based dashboards to continually improve how they get work done.
Lighting System. Communicates the vehicle's actions to nearby employees.
Dual Displays. Allow employees working alongside the vehicles to command their DriveMod Tuggers through on-vehicle interfaces.
Manual Mode. Enables operators to switch between autonomous and manual modes to complete ad hoc jobs.
Robust Towing. Tow multiple carts, totaling up to 6,000 pounds (with upgrade to 12,000 pounds expected later this year).
Auto-Unhitch Capabilities. Eliminate the need for human intervention when releasing towed carts, creating flexibility for material handling employees by removing the requirement to meet vehicles at destinations for unloading.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
