Michael Newman has a diverse work experience in various companies and roles. Michael started in 2013 as an Undergraduate Intern at Ocular Robotics. Later in 2013, they worked as a Wide Format Printer Operator at Easy Signs. In 2014, they became a Production Engineer at Ocular Robotics Limited. From 2011 to 2019, they served as an Artillery Observer (Reserve) in the Australian Army. In 2018, they joined Baraja as an NPI Engineer and eventually became the NPI Engineering Team Lead. Currently, Michael is working at Visionary Machines as the Lead Product Systems Engineer since 2023.
Michael Newman completed their Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, and Automation Engineering from the University of Wollongong from 2007 to 2013. Prior to that, they attended Caringbah High School and obtained their HSC degree between 2001 and 2006. The field of study for their high school education is not specified.
Visionary Machines
Visionary Machines uses non-planar arrays of many low-cost cameras to deliver high-fidelity long-range spatial 3D models of a scene in real time. Its vision is to enable machines to see and perceive the world. Using its "mix-and-match" approach, its sensor arrays can be multi-spectral and can mix optics (such as long-range telephoto withwide angle) to deliver unheralded range & fidelity. Its sensor system is passive, has zero cross-interference, has high immunity to transient interference (snow, rain, dust), has accurate depth, trajectory (direction & velocity) and object classification. Its cloud-connect option enhances each sensor using models of the world created in the cloud from many other sensors. Applications being targeted are automotive ADAS, surveillance, targeting, mapping in both civilian and military sectors.
