Autonomous navigation for robotic floor cleaners in commercial retail environments
EF 2019-20 · 2019-05-06
Résumé
Avidbots designs, manufactures, and markets autonomous robotic floor cleaning equipment for a variety of industries including commercial, government, hospital, education and retail customers. The current product, NEO, primarily operates in large facilities such as airports, malls, factories, and institutional buildings.
This Project is to develop new and improved autonomous navigation software suitable for smaller, more complex environments such as Big Box retail and grocery stores with narrower physical locations subject to tighter turning radius and frequently changing route layouts/obstacles (e.g. product displays).

Description
Avidbots designs, manufactures, and markets autonomous robotic floor cleaning equipment for a variety of industries including commercial, government, hospital, education and retail customers. The current product, NEO, primarily operates in large facilities such as airports, malls, factories, and institutional buildings.
This Project is to develop new and improved autonomous navigation software suitable for smaller, more complex environments such as Big Box retail and grocery stores with narrower physical locations subject to tighter turning radius and frequently changing route layouts/obstacles (e.g. product displays).
Description (French)
Avidbots conçoit, fabrique et commercialise des équipements robotisés autonomes de nettoyage des sols pour une variété d'industries, y compris des clients commerciaux, gouvernementaux, hospitaliers, éducatifs et de détail. Le produit actuel, NEO, est principalement utilisé dans les grandes installations comme les aéroports, les centres commerciaux, les usines et les immeubles institutionnels. Ce projet vise à développer un nouveau logiciel de navigation autonome amélioré adapté aux environnements plus petits et plus complexes tels que les magasins de détail et les épiceries « Big Box » dont les emplacements physiques sont plus étroits et soumis à un rayon de braquage plus serré et à des tracés / obstacles changeant fréquemment (p. ex. l'affichage des produits).
