…by Connetic Ventures and angel investors. Ottobots use proprietary navigation The Ottobots create a digital map of the serviceable area and localize within that map. Their live locations get updated on the map while they are navigating autonomously to deliver the orders. Ottonomy said its proprietary, contextual mobility navigation software enables the mobile robots to navigate through crowded and unpredictable environments. The company claimed that its entire system is highly scalable and flexible, and it uses a comprehensive suite of tools for managing a fleet of robots deployed throughout different locations. Ottobot pilots started running during the pandemic in 2020.…

…to develop control and perception solutions, ultimately facilitating smooth navigation of the robot through complex environments. The system involved 3D global positioning along with the goal to replicate ultra-precise “human” movement through the physical space with the robot. For the navigation stack, the team utilized wheel odometry, IMU and LiDAR data as well as an OptiTrack solution for repeatable localization. Finally, a Yaskawa arm was added to move the device under test to an exact location. With the system’s exceptional programmability and precision, the team was able to conduct repeated simulations, assisting the client in calibrating their device and confidently…
