…push out traditional ones. As machine vision advances, robotics navigation may depend less on lidar. Traditionally, mobile robots have relied heavily on lidar technology to guide and navigate their mobility. Lidar is a sensing technology that uses lasers to measure distances and create 3D maps of the environment. Machine vision is just more practical and economical than legacy lidar systems, according to Rand Voorhies, co-founder and chief technology officer at inVia Robotics in Westlake Village, Calif. “2D machine vision in warehouse settings is cheaper, easier, and more reliable than lidar,” he said. “inVia Picker robots utilize 2D machine vision with…

…a repair action would be made. Furthermore, the range, navigation, and communication challenges would also be demonstrated at scale. However, such an autonomous system for railways isn’t as simple as it might seem. The environment of the railway infrastructure is surprisingly tough for autonomous devices. For example, there are some places with no communications or GPS (such as tunnels and Faraday cages), few opportunities for charging, and uneven surfaces with obstacles. The scale of the challenge also required millimeter accuracy within a 1,000 km (621.3 mi.) network to, for example, repeat the measurement of a crack. In2Smart 2 was intended…
