AI & Autonomous Systems
Applied AI and machine learning for decision support, autonomous functions, model evaluation, AI assurance, and intelligent automation.
Engineering & Applied Research
NAVORA helps organizations develop, test, and validate AI enabled, autonomous, sensing, and human machine systems through engineering, physical measurement, modeling, and evidence.
How We Help
We work on systems where software, physical behavior, automation, and people interact. We help teams understand performance, uncertainty, and what evidence is needed before important engineering decisions are made.
Applied AI and machine learning for decision support, autonomous functions, model evaluation, AI assurance, and intelligent automation.
Experimental design, instrumentation, data acquisition, sensing, performance characterization, verification, and validation.
Human performance, human machine interaction, workload, vigilance, supervisory control, trust in automation, and human autonomy teaming.
Physics based and data driven modeling, simulation, vibration and dynamics, predictive analysis, and numerical to experimental comparison.
Selected R&D Experience
Representative research conducted by members of NAVORA's technical team across intelligent systems, sensing, human factors, physical experimentation, and engineering analysis.
Research used machine learning and explainable methods to study decision behavior under cognitive load and time pressure in autonomous driving scenarios.
Published Research ↗Numerical and experimental research investigated air coupled impact echo methods for buried concrete pipes using acoustic sensing, controlled testing, modeling, and validation.
Research Record ↗Research examined task analysis, human and autonomy role allocation, system requirements, and evaluation for future commercial aviation concepts.
Published Research ↗Research combined a validated vehicle and track simulation with machine learning to accelerate ride comfort prediction across operating conditions.
Published Research ↗Current Research Focus
Autonomous laboratories need more than fast optimization. They need a way to determine whether the evidence behind the next experimental action is sufficient to proceed.
NAVORA is pursuing decision verification methods that evaluate the evidence supporting an autonomous action and identify when an additional verification measurement is needed before proceeding.
