On June 17, at his Conference Hexagon Live in Las Vegas, the Geoschial Software, Monitoring, Construction and Design of the Construction and Design of Sweden, Hexagon, announced plans to develop several of its business units, including its Division of Intelligence of Life Cycle of Asset and CADRA BRICSYS Design tool: a new autonomous company called Octave.
If the shareholders, regulators and the Hexagon Board, the dedicated cloud software and software company as a service, will be launched in the first half of 2026 and will be headquartered in New York and contributed as an American company. Their security, infrastructure and geospacial business will also be included in Octave. It is estimated that the new entity will have about 7,200 employees from hexagon.
“As we prepare for the potential separation of Hexagon AB, Octave will be a powerful identity to reflect the significant growth opportunity,” said Mattas Stenberg, President of Security Intelligence and Security, the Geoschon Infrastructure and Hexagon Stenberg’s geospacial divisions and the Officer of Octave. “As an independent and independent company, Octave will have the depth, the scale and the experience needed to take advantage of the opportunities of software and services in the space of the industrial and public sector and will provide intelligence on a scale.”
Stenberg said he and the leadership team will remain in Hexagpon’s Hunstville, Ala., Office, although the new company’s headquarters are expected to be at least initially in New York.
Henning Sandfort, President of the Hexoon’s Geosysysystems Division – and who will remain in this role in Hexagon after the launch of Octave – said that the vision of the Company of the Elderly is still merging data of scanners, drones, radar and its other geosystem devices on an artificial platform with intelligence like its existing HXDDR cloud.
To this end, Arnaud Robert, President of Hexagon Robotics, introduced the company’s first humanoid robot, AEON, to the note Keynote the Fontainebleau Resort in the Las Vegas strip.
The robot, whose use cases include the capture of reality for construction, is about four feet high, has two complete AI computers, Nvidia graphic processing units with a graphic processing unit, two cameras in the head and 22 space sensors. While Boston Dynamics attended the design, AEON is a bipedal robot with wheels for the feet with which it can roll or walk. The hands of the robot came from designs for the prosthetic hand skilled for humans who have suffered amputations. Microsoft provided cloud computer science and Edge and Maxon provided precision measurement and actuators.
Although many robots have tried to solve the problem of capturing the reality of construction, which are noteworthy inconsistently by humans who could probably be used better in non -repetitive tasks, Hexagon believes that his humanoid has a leg in robot dogs or drones because he has two batteries and the ability to change his own battery packages without humans who help.
Robert said his ability to learn will also help improve construction tasks.
“The rhythm of innovation in physics improves. Founding models teach a robot how to reason and learn,” he said.
