…isn't a fleet management, vehicle navigation, or safety system. Consequently, vehicles that comply with the standard would still need separate navigation and safety systems. In addition, the working group has determined that the standard will not address hardware changes such as shared chargers or other types of robots, like robotic arms. MassRobotics said it welcomes any interested parties to join…

…As machine vision advances, robotics navigation may depend less on lidar. Traditionally, mobile robots have relied heavily on lidar technology to guide and navigate their mobility. Lidar is a sensing technology that uses lasers to measure distances and create 3D maps of the environment. Machine vision is just more practical and economical than legacy lidar systems, according to Rand Voorhies,…
