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 indoorโ€“outdoor 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.

โžก๏ธ GNSS provides absolute positioning in open yards but struggles near walls.
โžก๏ธ 2D LiDAR is reliable indoors, but blind to height.
โžก๏ธ ๐Ÿฏ๐—— ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐——๐—”๐—ฅ, 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.

Thatโ€™s exactly what weโ€™ll discuss in our upcoming joint webinar with GIM Robotics and Navitec Systems.

Weโ€™ll go deep into:

1๏ธโƒฃ The current state of outdoor navigation technologies
2๏ธโƒฃ Real-world use cases from ports, airports, and construction sites
3๏ธโƒฃ 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.
