Philadelphia-headquartered Exyn Technologies has raised $16m in a series A funding round led by Centricus. The company is developing an ultra-high performance computing (HPC) system that will be used to accelerate the development of autonomous vehicles. Exyn, which is headquartered in Philadelphia, says its team hails from Georgia Tech, Johns Hopkins, Boeing, SRI, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, and United Technologies Research Center and that a number of its engineers participated in DARPA’s Urban Challenge. They can collect data even in "digitally starved" locations, such as underground mines, using a combination of pulsed laser lights, mapping and planning, rather than human operators. The A3Rs were debuted in the field last year and Exyn's customers include the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
