Navigation

Navigation, in the meaning of driving autonomously from a starting position to the target point in the room, is one of the most central capabilities for autonomous mobile robots and crucial for a smooth process operation. Navigation is a complex task due to the high amount of information that needs to be processed, but the ARTI Navigation Tool masters this task impeccably. The functionality is based upon the results of previous working steps such as mapping and localization. Navigation revolves around the issues of path planning and path following while integrating environmental information for route comprehension to find and follow the most suitable course for target achievement.
