…are directed by a next-generation navigation system 〈Bluebotics〉 similar to the navigation systems used by autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). It relies on simultaneous location and mapping, or SLAM, to create a digital map of the facility and then uses natural feature navigation for everyday operations rather than magnetic tape or laser guidance more commonly associated with AGVs. The navigation system…

…on the floor, or point-by-point navigation. To help with these challenges, SICK’s Visionary-T 3D streaming camera and new SensorApps can help. What is the Visionary-T? The Visionary-T takes a snapshot of the surrounding space. Each shot provides data on distance, intensity, and confidence values, which allows it to properly detect obstacles. AGVs and automatic mobile robots (AMRs) equipped with the…
