Main Street Autonomy Named RBR50 Award Winner for Innovation in Sensor Calibration
PITTSBURGH, PA – April 19, 2023 – Main Street Autonomy, LLC (MSA), a robotics software and solution provider, announces winning the Robotics Business Review RBR50 Innovation Award for simplifying sensor calibration for autonomous systems. This award highlights MSA’s commitment to advancing robotics technology.
MSA Calibration Anywhere software transforms the sensor calibration process for autonomous vehicles and mobile robots. Traditionally, calibrating sensors has been a time-consuming and complex task, often requiring checkerboards, fiducials, or specific targets to be placed in a pre-measured environment, and a complex process managed by engineers.
Brianna Wessling, who evaluated MSA’s software, explains in the RBR50 Innovation Award notice, “Calibration Anywhere allows users to calibrate sensors in just minutes, allowing customers to calibrate robots more frequently without an expensive return-to-HQ trip. […] Overall, Main Street Autonomy’s Calibration Anywhere software facilitates faster, cheaper, and easier sensor calibration.”
