History
2019: Ford became the owner of Quantum Signal
On August 1, 2019 Ford Motor Company announced acquisition robotic of Quantum Signal company to accelerate start of the business direction on development and production unmanned vehicles. Quantum Signal specializes in creation software for management robotic transport of means at distance and testing of the autonomous and remotely-controlled robotic systems in virtual environment.
From the moment of foundation of Quantum Signal, located in the city of Seyline, Michigan, works on mobile robotics for numerous clients, including for law enforcement agencies. So, Quantum Signal helped military to develop the software allowing to manage far off robotic vehicles from distance in thousands of miles.
Quantum Signal gained recognition for development of the environment of modeling under the name ANVEL which is used in programs of military robotics for a research of performance of the remotely-controlled pilotless systems. Thanks to examination of the company, Ford will be able to create more difficult complex environments of modeling in which it will be possible to test vehicles and business models on performance improvement.
In the Quantum Signal portfolio a large number of various projects therefore experience of the company will help Ford with development of pilotless vehicles and the organization of transportations within the service industry, including creation of the software and prototypes of the hardware.
Ford is interested in accelerating development of vehicles. For this reason in recent years the company forms strong team of experts with high qualification in the development area of the software, modeling and machine learning, attracting professionals from around the world. Acquisition of Quantum Signal will promote further strengthenings of positions of a brand in these spheres.
The company also proved in the field of robotics and development of systems of perception and recognition of data. Ford is going to make use of experience of Quantum Signal for support of unmanned vehicles of a brand to improve their capabilities to analyze the environment.
Quantum Signal will play one of key roles in improvement of development of Ford unmanned vehicles and also will reflect the aspiration of the company to develop the personnel necessary for successful implementation of this technology.
