…Daniel Theobald, Vecna Robotics; and Jose Luis Susa Rincon, Siemens. Making mapping work How does shared mapping work? “Each robot makes its own map, but they use a shared coordinate system,” replied Walker. “It's like hiking with GIS—we use common reference points.” “There was a lot of debate, but users like FedEx have expressed strong interest in indoor and outdoor standards,” Theobald said. “It's basically GPS, which is different from the AGV [automated guided vehicle] world, where the robots precisely follow lines. That's not the way the real world works—it's less about the path than flexibly following goals. A lift…
