…which is largely related to navigation, localization and travel, much like a warehouse control system controls a conveyor or sorter. On top of that, the robot is continually observing warehouse conditions that might impact how it gets from Point A to Point B and learning from recently completed routes. “The robot is always making mental notes about the warehouse conditions…

…from cameras, RADAR/LiDAR or satellite navigation is relied upon by ADAS systems to make safety-critical decisions. Now the blind spots caused by vehicle-road dynamics can be identified to determine which sensors to rely upon, when. For example, ensuring that a car driving over a speed bump is able to perceive a pedestrian, even if the camera vibrations prevent tracking. Vehicle…

…learning paper-based procedures or complicated navigation menus on wireless devices. Another key benefit of the system is that it generates detailed analytics about warehouse picking processes and inventory levels and movements. The Oklahoma City DC uses this data for various purposes, from metrics visibility for supervisors, to fine-tuning inventory positions, and knowing which workers are performing above average. By comparison…
