…though some mobile robots are dependent on fixed navigation infrastructure, they require little additional installation. Set up typically only requires laser reflectors, magnetic tapes, inductive wires, and barcodes/QR codes. Software initialization can usually be completed remotely or on the cloud. Hence, the installation time for AGV systems typically only takes 2-6 weeks, the research firm reported. For autonomous mobile robotic units, the installation can be shorter as robots only need to be shown around the facilities and no additional change to the environment is needed.

…deployed across the $1 trillion earthmoving industry, building critical infrastructure in energy, telecom, and more. Fast and easy to install The San Francisco-based company said the system can be installed and calibrated on an excavator in less than a day. Contractors can rent Exosystems as standalone units to install on their fleet of equipment, or they can lease pre-upgraded excavators from Built directly. “We've spent the past few years neck-deep in R&D, and it's paid off. Our rental fleet is fully booked into 2023, and orders keep coming in,” said Noah Ready-Campbell, CEO of Built Robotics. “The Series C will…

…to communicate with its fleet management server software and infrastructure, such as automatic doors and elevators. The strength of signal required depends on the type of navigation technology in question. Vehicles driven by ANT® technology, for instance, do not require constant WiFi access when performing their individual roles – a low-bandwidth connection is only required in order to interact with infrastructure or other vehicles in a fleet. Tip: Investigate the pros and cons of different navigation technologies to decide the best fit technology for your vehicle. 3. Is your team automation-ready? Does your team have the full complement of skills…
