NoMaDbot
Non-SLAM “Autonomous Mobile Robot Technology without MAP”
Features
- ・AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot)
- ・Reaches its destination even in a changing layout
- ・Simple low-cost structure
- ・Available immediately after purchase: Requires no extra time, expertise, or technology for implementation
- ・Equipped with echolocation technology: Achieves spatial recognition through ultrasonic waves
Design Concepts
- ・Travel straight to the destination while avoiding obstacles along the way
- ・Cheap, easy, trouble-free
Markets
- ・SMEs (Small- to Medium-sized Enterprises) unable to take the risk of cost and time for implementation
- ・Factories that do not require advanced system integration
- ・Construction sites with frequent layout changes
- ・Environments with mirrored equipment, glass walls, and/or special lighting not ideal for LiDAR or cameras
Terminology
-SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)
A technology for building a map while keeping track of location at the same time
-Echolocation
A technique used by animals to determine the distance, direction, and size of objects by emitting sounds or ultrasonic waves and detecting their reverberation.
