Cognata's simulation suite chosen by AgJunction to Accelerate the 14 billion USD Off-road Vehicle Market

REHOVOT, Israel, Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognata, Ltd., announced today the integration of Cognata's simulation authoring software into AgJunction, Inc. 's ("AgJunction") technology, to further accelerate testing and validation of off-road vehicles and equipment. Cognata's AV off-road simulation is designed to test, train and validate perception and control challenges for terrains that do not offer a clear road definition and for paths that offer challenging conditions such as boulders, side slopes, difficult tractions, and more. 

Cognata's technology rapidly creates novel visualization and synthetic environment approaches to enable improved AI/ML training that increases reliability, reduces human error in critical mission tasks, and positively impacts trust in human-machine teaming.

This simulation platform uses synthetic data with a digital twin environment and delivers a new level of realism in training and validating off-road autonomous vehicles.

The Off-road vehicle market was valued at USD 14 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to reach USD 18 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.12% during the forecast period (2021-2026). The global off-road market is experiencing a high demand owing to the need for robust compact equipment. The off-road vehicles have a wide range of users across agriculture, mining, and constructions among other sectors. The companies providing off-road vehicles are focusing on introducing new products with improved features to attract more customers and gain a competitive position in the market*.
