When we think about mobile robots , most people imagine clean factory floors and perfect lighting conditions. But there’s a world outside with uneven terrain, rain, fog, mixed indoorโoutdoor environments (what can kill sensing capabilities). Outdoor navigation is a huge opportunity but it is one of the toughest frontiers for mobile robots.
Today, several technologies are shaping the field:
RTK-GNSS, 2D LiDAR, 3D LiDAR, IMUs, and visual SLAM.
Each has its strengths, and its limitations.
โก๏ธ GNSS provides absolute positioning in open yards but struggles near walls.
โก๏ธ 2D LiDAR is reliable indoors, but blind to height.
โก๏ธ ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฅ, supported by RTK-GNSS and IMUs, is now proving to be the most balanced option for all-weather, all-surface navigation.
Weather, lighting, vibrations, and even the transition between indoor and outdoor areas are real challenges that we face every day.
And yet, the technology is now ready, thanks to sensor fusion, advanced fleet management systems, and new localization algorithms that make autonomy reliable in complex outdoor spaces.
Thatโs exactly what weโll discuss in our upcoming joint webinar with GIM Robotics and Navitec Systems.
Weโll go deep into:
1๏ธโฃ The current state of outdoor navigation technologies
2๏ธโฃ Real-world use cases from ports, airports, and construction sites
3๏ธโฃ How to design reliable systems for large, open environments
If your company is considering developing or deploying outdoor mobile robots, this session will help you understand which navigation methods really work.
