PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exyn Technologies (NASDAQ: EXYN), a leader in autonomous mapping and AI-powered navigation for complex, GPS-denied environments, today announced that Chief Operating Officer Ben Williams will participate in a live interview exploring the future of autonomous robotics, trust in AI, and the growing role of autonomy in industrial and defense applications.
Drawing on a career that spans military service, aerospace, entrepreneurship, and autonomous robotics, Williams will share his perspective on how autonomy has evolved from a promising technology into a mission-critical capability across industries ranging from mining and infrastructure to national security. The discussion will cover topics including:
- What autonomy really means, and how it differs from automation and remote operation
- Why many robotics companies struggle to move beyond laboratory demonstrations into real-world deployments
- How organizations build trust in autonomous systems operating in complex, GPS-denied environments
- The opportunities and ethical considerations surrounding autonomous technologies as they expand from industrial safety applications into defense
Before joining Exyn, Williams served as an officer in the U.S. Navy, held roles at Lockheed Martin, and founded a creator technology company that was successfully acquired. As COO of Exyn, he oversees operations for a company that has completed thousands of autonomous missions in underground mines, tunnels, industrial facilities, and other challenging environments where GPS, communications, and prior maps are unavailable.
“Autonomy is fundamentally changing how organizations operate in environments that are too dangerous, inaccessible, or complex for traditional robotic systems,” said Williams. “I'm looking forward to discussing what it takes to build autonomous systems that people can trust, and how those lessons are shaping the future of both industry and defense.”
