…of RTK-GPS module from NovAtel smart6-I, Lord 3DM-GX5-25, odometry, Velodyne VPL-16 lidar, and an AXIS M5525-E PTZ Network Camera augmented by a robot wrist camera and stereo vision. The In2Smart 2 team also equipped the Clearpath system with ultrasonic flaw detection. Data fusion of the navigation and location sensors is necessary to improve location accuracy and to bridge GPS limitations. These can be significant challenges for the typical railway application environments. On the other hand, the robot wrist camera can provide additional views of the rails and track components. Next, stereo vision is used to get a closer range for…
