Artificial Intelligence in Air and Missile Defence - Australia’s Air Surveillance Operators (ASOPs) and Air Battle Managers (ABMs) perform the nationally important roles of detecting and responding to air threats.
AOS joins Northrop Grumman for Parallax Labs Launch - Defence Industry Minister Price opened the Northrop Grumman Australia ‘Parallax Labs’, a new AU$20 million state-of-the-art systems integration, visualisation and demonstration facility, on Dec. 1, 2021.
State of the Art Tech Improves Intruder Tracking Surveillance - To eliminate this human element from critical but often tedious surveillance, robotics specialists at Agent Oriented Software (AOS) and Queensland University of Technology’s (QUT) Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision, teamed up for an innovative research project. A boost from the Defence Science Institute (DSI) through a Collaborative Research Grant helped the team develop its current prototype of an autonomous intelligent intruder tracking system named ‘eyeSight’.
A World of Intelligent Software Agents - AOS presented to the "Inspiration Sessions" SAP Worldwide User Group this week.
Sneak peek – first test runs for AOS’s autonomous test platform, the "Pug" - Today we ran our battery/electric platform that we will use to mount pedestrian and animal mannequins to create challenges for our Kelpie autonomous ground vehicle. These pedestrians and animals will cross into the path of the Kelpie, allowing us to evaluate its obstacle detection and collision avoidance performance.
AOS presents at vSOFIC 2020! - AOS presents its iOPFOR AI-based live fire targetry system at the 2020 Virtual Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (vSOFIC).
Challenges with Off-Road Autonomy - AOS has been focusing on off-road autonomy for more than three years. We are developing a completely off-road autonomous vehicle, which is able to traverse and adjust to multiple surfaces and environments.
Introducing the Pug – an Autonomous Pedestrian - AOS has developed the Pug autonomous pedestrian. With a custom-developed chassis and software modified from AOS’ Kelpie autonomous land vehicle, the Pug allows for emulating pedestrians and animals in a safe and controlled manner.
AOS Supporting the Next Generation of Engineers - At the beginning of 2020, AOS engaged two engineering interns via Monash University’s Co-op Program. Meet Bryan Varic Gunawan and Nir Nikolaevsky.
AOS at LAND 400 Phase 3 Australian Industry Capability Roadshow - AOS’s Principal Robotics Engineer, Nathan Hamilton, has presented the company’s AI, autonomy and robotics capability to a Defence Department Australian Industry Capability panel.

What We Do

Agent Oriented Software – the Australian AI company since 1997.

AOS is a software and robotics company specialising in autonomous and intelligent systems.

Its Australian-developed “Beliefs, Desires and Intentions”, or BDI, intelligent software agent technology provides the foundation for machines and systems capable of rational reasoning. This allows humans to understand why the autonomous system did what it did, generating trust and providing the means to achieve the US Defense Department DARPA’s goal of Explainable AI.

AOS markets JACK®, a multi-agent software development platform, which developers can use to produce intelligent software and decision applications. AOS is developing C-BDI™, to be released in early 2020, which is AOS’s flagship 4th generation BDI software platform for intelligent agents and decision-making systems. AOS is going further, and with its C-BDI Resilient Agent Teams™, is producing a world-first capability for building teams of software agents that work with humans as a human/autonomous machines team, to be released in 2021.

AOS is developing its Kelpie range of autonomous, off-road ground vehicles, for both defence and agricultural applications.

Our Featured Customers

Agent Oriented Software – the Australian AI company since 1997 – was founded to develop software products based on the concept of intelligent software agents. These agents, known as BDI, or Beliefs, Desires and Intentions agents, draw from the theories of rational agency, first proposed by Stanford philosopher Michael Bratman in the 1980s. We have realised that aim and now produce intelligent agent software products, and applications, including the development of a range of autonomous, off road, ground vehicles.
