Context

Xtend, a leader in human-guided autonomous machine systems, sought to revolutionize operator control by developing XtendControl software interface powered by their patented XOS operating system. The primary goal was to empower operators, even with minimal training, to execute highly accurate maneuvers and actions in diverse environments. Xtend aimed to showcase the capabilities of XtendControl in the defense, HLS (Homeland Security), and security sectors.
