…and ranging) and SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) technologies allow the truck to make its own decisions about the best path to follow to complete each task without hitting fixed obstacles or pedestrians. On-board sensors and cameras provide real-time input for the navigation technologies. Safety of people in the facility is a recurring story across suppliers. Quite simply, any advantage…

…damage. This is where simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology comes in. SLAM enables safe navigation But what exactly is SLAM, and how does it work? It is a bit like how we use our eyes and ears to navigate a crowded room. We can sense where objects are in relation to us, and we use that information to move…

…environments. SLAM — or simultaneous localization and mapping — can be used to generate 3D maps of environments with camera images from multiple viewpoints, but it requires revisions when objects move and environments are changed. To help overcome some of these shortcomings, the NVIDIA Robotics research team has co-developed with the University of Washington a new model, dubbed Motion Policy…
