Primordial Labs is developing an advanced human-machine interface called Anura, aimed at enhancing human collaboration with uncrewed systems (UxS). Anura allows operators, particularly warfighters, to task robots using natural language, treating them like human teammates rather than mere tools. The company focuses on revolutionizing the communication mechanism to improve the adoption of autonomous systems by integrating Natural Language Understanding with platform-agnostic autonomy. Anura translates verbal, mission-type orders into complex autonomous actions for various systems, enabling more intuitive and effective battlefield management and command control of uncrewed systems.
