…received via antenna from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Cameras mounted around the robots provide 360 degrees of real-time obstacle detection. Otteman said as Scythe’s camera-based machine vision gets more sophisticated, they can rely on it as a complementary data source when satellite coverage might be blocked, such as underneath a tree canopy. Hamilton and Otteman also said ultrasonic sensors are embedded in the M.52 frames for development of the next generation of mowers. As Scythe’s robots autonomously mow, camera images are streamed for logging. Images are also collected from run-in, development, and test robots. “We have an employee…

…also RGB lenses with different focal lengths, a built-in GNSS module and IMU, as well as an API for integration with any UAV. The combination of the PT61 camera with AGROWING’s multispectral lenses establishes the camera as a dual-purpose RGB/Multispectral solution. Using the PT61 camera with AGROWING’s Quad lens, the camera provides 10 multispectral bands of 12 MP resolution, each along with the IR band. “This year, we observed an increased demand from surveyors for solutions related to renewable energy, said Iliya Shikov, TOPODRONE’s CTO. “Combining thermal and LiDAR data can provide deeper insights, in particular, in solar plant inspections…

…solution. In addition, future aftermarket portfolio developments will feature GNSS correction enhancements. Updated SSR (State Space Representation) corrections will give farmers real RTK accuracy via both cellular network and satellite. This gives users reliable correction services by providing a satellite-based back-up in case of signal loss, even in areas that aren’t well-covered by cellular networks. Raven is currently developing a new GNSS receiver, the 900S, which will support these new SSR correction services with the ability to choose between satellite and cellular connection. The 900S will be another option that can be added to the Raven CRx+ Guidance Kit. Exact…

…said. BlueBotics integrates indoor-outdoor systems ANT everywhere works with GNSS. Source: BlueBotics ANT everywhere overcomes this challenge by adding GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) navigation with real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning, said BlueBotics. It claimed that the combination makes outdoor AGV and AMR operations just as robust and precise as those indoors. When an ANT-driven vehicle is enabled with ANT everywhere, its navigation algorithm uses whichever data source is the most relevant at the time: Inside a building: ANT navigation uses its usual odometry, inertial measurement unit (gyroscope), and laser scanner data to calculate a vehicle’s exact position, matching permanent features…
