Ghost Robotics Response to Boston Dynamics Pending Litigation

Saturday, November 19th, 2022

PHILADELPHIA, PA, November 17, 2022 — Ghost Robotics announced today their formal response to the Boston Dynamics lawsuit.

Founded in 2015, Ghost Robotics has quickly grown to become the number one supplier of legged robots to US and Allied Governments. The flagship Vision 60 robot offers best-in-class endurance, speed, weather protection, and field repairability. It is the only legged robot on the market that is capable of operating in all environmental conditions for sustained, real-world missions to improve efficiency and save lives.

Evolving from close customer collaboration, coupled with exceptional innovation at Ghost Robotics, these capabilities have led to rapid adoption by US Air Force, Army, and Special Forces as well as Allied Governments including the UK, Australia, Israel, Germany, Singapore, and the Republic of Korea Blue House.

Ghost Robotics was born out of the PhD research of CTO Avik De and CEO Gavin Kenneally, under the tutelage of the esteemed Prof. Dan Koditschek at The University of Pennsylvania. Prof. Koditschek is a pioneer in the field of legged robots and holds the patent (jointly with his former students, Martin Buehler and Uluc Saranli) for the first battery-powered, dynamic legged robot, RHex (US6481513B2, filed March 14, 2001).

Ghost Robotics’ success has not gone unnoticed by Boston Dynamics. Rather than compete on a level playing field, the company chose to file an obstructive and baseless lawsuit on November 11th in an attempt to halt the newcomer’s progress. Boston Dynamics is drawing on their considerably larger resources to litigate instead of innovate.

Ghost Robotics strongly believes that fair competition drives the market and looks forward to a thriving legged robot industry, for the benefit of humanity.

Beam Global Receives $11.7M Order for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for 140 EV ARC Systems

Friday, November 18th, 2022

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 17, 2022 — Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), the leading provider of innovative sustainable products and technologies for electric vehicle (EV) charging, energy storage, energy security and outdoor media, announced that the General Services Administration (GSA) placed an order for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to receive 140 Beam EV ARC™ sustainable off-grid charging systems. The systems will be deployed across 34 locations in 12 states including Hawaii. The purchase was made by GSA for VA through GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contract Number 47QSWA21D0006 which simplifies the federal procurement process and ensures best pricing.

GSA is partnering with Veterans Affairs to build a more sustainable future for its fleet and its facilities across the country. VA’s EV ARC™ systems support Executive Order 14057 calling for 100% zero-emission federal fleet light duty vehicle acquisitions by 2027 and will support VA’s growing fleet of ZEVs that help serve Veterans. The EV ARC™ charging systems will be deployed at medical and administrative VA locations in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, Texas and Virginia.

“We are thrilled to see American-made EV ARC systems going to the first of the 1,255 medical and administrative Veterans Affairs locations across the U.S. We proudly employ veterans and invite more to join us,” said Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley. “As federal initiatives like Executive Order 14057 and funding programs like the Inflation Reduction Act gain momentum, we expect continued growth in the federal sector. Our sustainable EV charging solutions create American manufacturing jobs to build American made products that serve zero emission transportation with 100% locally generated renewable and resilient energy. We look forward to helping VA and all our federal partners transition to electric vehicles and build a brighter future for coming generations.”

Each EV ARC™ charging system generates and stores its own electricity and delivers that power to a dual-plug EV charger from ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CHPT), a leading EV charging network, to charge two electric vehicles simultaneously. Off-grid and powered by renewable energy, the systems are rapidly deployed turnkey sustainable charging systems requiring no construction, no electrical work and no utility connection. On-board battery storage enables EVs to charge during the night, inclement weather and grid outages, and the Emergency Power Panel can provide vital electricity to VA personnel and first responders during disasters and grid outages.

The VA’s Veterans Health Administration is the largest integrated health care network in the United States, with 1,255 health care facilities serving 9 million enrolled Veterans annually. President Biden’s Executive Order 14057 with its accompanying Federal Sustainability Plan calls for 100% zero-emission vehicle acquisitions by 2035, including 100% light-duty acquisitions by 2027. This is prioritizing and accelerating a Federal Clean Electricity and Vehicle Procurement Strategy, calling for clean and zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs) for federal, state, local and tribal government fleets. There are approximately six-hundred and seventy-five-thousand vehicles in the federal fleet.

For more information on how federal, local and state government entities can purchase Beam’s EV ARC™ turnkey sustainable EV charging solutions from the federal GSA Contract Number 47QSWA21D0006, please contact The Beam Team at 858-799-4583 or BeamTeam@BeamForAll.com.

*This order was made public during Beam Global’s earnings announcement on November 10, 2022

MarshallAI Starts Cooperation with the U.S. Army

Friday, November 18th, 2022

For immediate release

The Finnish AI pioneer MarshallAI has signed a cooperation agreement with the U.S. Army. The cooperation aims to further develop the MarshallAI platform to suit the U.S. Army even better. The current platform can, for example, analyze the environment on behalf of a soldier, which releases resources for the execution of other acute tasks.

MarshallAI and the U.S. Army have signed a one-year cooperation agreement. The cooperation is a continuation of the international xTech Global AI Challenge organized by the U.S. Department of Defense, where MarshallAI was declared the winner in the fall of 2021. The competition aimed to find innovations based on artificial intelligence that can improve the performance of the different organizations within the Department of Defense.

The MarshallAI platform can among other things multiply the number of eyes on a battlefield. A warfighter can automatically get information about the environment, including sounds and activity in the radio frequencies, which can free up human resources and enable more informed real-time decisions. Warfighters need to cope with less worry and stress when artificial intelligence analyzes and produces information for them automatically.

MarshallAI is a Finnish pioneer of automatic machine vision. The development work started in 2014, and the company offers a solution to replicate human sensing without any knowledge of software development. The technology of MarshallAI improves the safety of companies, enhances the effectiveness of the security authorities, and enables smart cities and transport.
