QUEBEC CITY and PASADENA, Calif., July 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LeddarTech®, an industry leader in environmental sensing solutions for autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems, congratulates COAST Autonomous on the first deployment of the Leddar™ Pixell in an autonomous delivery vehicle (ADV) at the Kinney County Railport (KCRP) near Brackettville, Texas. KCRP is one of several railyards operated by Harbor Rail Services Company of California. COAST Autonomous selected LeddarTech’s Leddar Pixell Cocoon LiDAR with its 360-degree vehicle coverage as a supplier for this project.COAST Autonomous, founded by veterans of the self-driving industry, chose LeddarTech’s technology because of its ability to deliver enhanced safety for COAST Autonomous’ vehicles. The robustness and reliability of LeddarTech’s solid-state Flash LiDAR technology meet today’s demanding mobility conditions and make it the technology of choice toward preventing collisions, especially in an industrial environment where pedestrian and vehicle traffic is less controlled than in an urban environment.The COAST Autonomous electric ADVs operate CO2 emission-free and enable Harbor Rail to operate and move equipment and supplies 24 hours a day in their industrial environment safely and efficiently. These electric vehicles are equipped with technology that enables autonomous driving with solid-state Flash LiDAR technology provided by LeddarTech. COAST Autonomous has developed self-driving vehicles that integrate several detection technologies, including LiDAR and camera. LeddarTech’s Leddar Pixell provides full coverage with no dead zones within the entire perimeter of the vehicle, also referred to as the “cocoon.” This protects all workers on an industrial site, on foot or in another vehicle, who may approach the ADV in stop-and-go situations.“It has been a great opportunity to deploy vehicles at KCRP. The railyard is the perfect environment to show how autonomous vehicles function, particularly in an industrial environment, keeping the workforce safer and improving efficiency by allowing them to focus on more highly skilled tasks,” stated Pierre Lefevre, Chief Technology Officer at COAST Autonomous. “Safety is our priority, and that is why we use the Leddar Pixell. With more than a decade of experience building LiDAR sensors, LeddarTech is the perfect partner for us and has consistently shown it could exceed our expectations.”“We are honored that our Cocoon LiDAR solutions were selected and trusted by COAST Autonomous to be part of its autonomous “Bigfoot” delivery vehicle,” stated Adrian Pierce, VP, Global Sales & Business Development at LeddarTech. “COAST has an amazing track record, and it is exciting to see them launch a delivery service at a railyard. The first element of COAST’s charter is safety, and the deployment of LeddarTech’s Cocoon LiDAR supports that charter and the commitment COAST makes to their customers.” Mr. Pierce concluded that “making mobility applications safer is at the core of our DNA. Our technology offers the right balance of performance and cost-effectiveness and is ready for deployment today.”About COAST AutonomousCOAST Autonomous is a self-driving technology company providing mobility solutions to move people and goods at appropriate speeds in urban, campus, and industrial environments. COAST was established to build community by connecting people with mobility solutions that put pedestrians first and give cities back to people. However, COAST technology is also ideal for private sites. COAST has developed a proprietary 6-level Autonomous Vehicle (AV) system that includes mapping and localization, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI), fleet management, and supervision. COAST can provide a variety of AVs to offer Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) solutions to cities, theme parks, campuses, airports, rail yards, and other private sites. COAST can also provide Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions to vehicle manufacturers looking to offer autonomous fleets to their customers. COAST engineers work with the manufacturer to convert their vehicles to “by-wire,” install perception sensors and AV software, followed by a rigorous testing program. Located in California, Florida, France, the UK, and the Philippines, the COAST team is recognized for its experience and expertise in all aspects of implementing and operating AV fleets while prioritizing safety and the user experience.

xtalpi-unveils-xtalgazer:-a-comprehensive-ai-driven-polymorph-selection-platform

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — XtalPi Inc., a leading global technology company in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to advance the discovery of groundbreaking medicine and innovative materials, announced today the launch of its proprietary comprehensive solid form discovery and selection platform, XtalGazer. This advanced platform aims to significantly improve the polymorph selection process for the pharmaceutical industry by integrating AI- and automation-powered experimental and computational approaches.

XtalGazer provides a total solution for delivering high-quality polymorph screening and selection methods to expedite drug development and mitigate risks. It represents a paradigm shift in solid-state research, moving from the traditional trial-and-error approach to a data-driven, design-led methodology. The platform provides an expansive suite of foundational tools to accelerate polymorph discovery, characterization, and selection process, empowering pharmaceutical companies to conduct thorough research with less active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in shorter development cycles.
A key component of XtalGazer is XtalCSP, a crystal structure prediction platform to perform global searches of crystal structures for target molecules and the other optional components in the corresponding searching space, offering a deep insight into possible stable forms. Furthermore, crystallization strategy recommendations will provide AI-backed experimental design to help avoid human bias. XtalGazer also utilizes MicroED to rapidly elucidate crystal structures from powder samples, reducing the need for growing single crystals.
XtalPi’s launch of XtalGazer marks another significant step in the company’s ongoing exploration of solid-state research. From crystal structure prediction platforms being one of the first products to launch at XtalPi, to today’s comprehensive polymorph selection platform, XtalPi will keep fulfilling its promise to solving challenging problems in this space. XtalPi will continue to deliver faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive approaches to building an ecosystem for the R&D process in solid-state, pre-formulation and crystallization.
