…to easily expand OutdoorNav's capabilities by integrating their custom ROS-based applications and graphical user interfaces. They can also connect third-party fleet management tools, said Clearpath. Users can create, edit, monitor, and manage autonomous missions through the Web-based interface, the Kitchener, Ontario-based company said. They can visualize data from onboard sensors and view the vehicle’s live position on an interactive map, it added. Customized tasks, such as capturing sensor data or imagery at specific locations, can be easily assigned at waypoints, asserted Clearpoint. Platform supports teleoperations, maintains compatibility In addition, OutdoorNav supports teleoperation mode, which allows users to command and control…
