…we've implemented behaviors in the navigation stack,” Wise said. “While they can't be held to functionally safe performance levels, they increase the safety of the platform by handling certain scenarios in the warehouse—for example, social navigation behavior, or keeping the robot on the right side of an aisle. We can't safety rate that, but it makes interactions with people more…

…LiDARs have been the prevailing navigation sensor for decades. Autonomous mobile robot (AMR) manufacturers including Canvas Technology (acquired by Amazon) and Seegrid have developed AMRs with varying degrees of vision-based navigation. The trend towards vision is being driven by the need for: 3D visual perception, Increased robustness, and Reduced cost. Ultimately, to achieve truly intelligent autonomous behavior, navigation systems need…
