RoboTech - AON Algorithm Software for Autonomous Navigation
The AON algorithm serves as a sophisticated software tool enabling autonomous navigation on paved and unpaved roads, facilitating collision-free robotic movement without human oversight. Initially, a teleoperator uses the robot to map the surroundings, generating a local environmental map. Utilizing an integrated sensor system, the robot autonomously follows predefined paths, effectively managing challenging intersections and both static and dynamic obstacles. Commands are input via an application interface or voice commands. The algorithm can be adapted for various robotic platforms, necessitating specific sensor equipment like the RTV sensor Box and IMU, GPS, and odometry. For optimized navigation, using RoboTech Vision's platforms equipped with the RTV sensor Box is recommended. The system supports ROS communication through the cmd_vel topic, emphasizing compatibility with commercially available robotic platforms.
Autonomous outdoor navigation
AON algorithm is a software solution with which the robot can move on paved roads without collisions and without human intervention. The teleoperator first maps the surroundings with the robot, which results in a local map of the environment. Thanks to the sensor system, the robot autonomously navigates the specified route. Commands can be entered using the application by marking a location on the map or by voice.
The software ensures the crossing of difficult intersections and the avoidance of static and dynamic obstacles. Algorithm can be modified for deployment on various robotic platforms, but autonomous navigation requires the necessary sensor equipment. The optimal solution is to use one of our robotic platforms equipped with an RTV sensor Box. At present, it is possible to navigate using the AON algorithm and RTV sensor Box even in an indoor environment.
