ANT localization

Positioning for your vehicle

Know exactly
where your
vehicle is

ANT localization is a vehicle positioning system for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), automated forklifts and mobile robots. It can also be used to track manual vehicles. ANT localization simply provides position coordinates to the main vehicle controller. Therefore, it suits vehicle makers who have their own control system. All BlueBotics products are FCC/CE certified.

Positioning for:

  • Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
  • Automated forklifts
  • Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
  • Service robots
  • Manual vehicles

Functions

BlueBotics Positioning.

Positioning

ANT localization uses laser scanner data and odometry to localize the vehicle in the map, with permanent structures (features) in the environment acting as references. Accurate to ±1 cm / ±1°.

Includes

The following are provided as
standard with ANT localization.

ANT lab Software.

ANT Lab Software

Every ANT navigation system is supplied with ANT lab, our proven vehicle and mission configuration software.

BlueBotics Embedded Mission Control.

Embedded mission control

With ANT, the transfer of mission data from computer to vehicle happens just once (instead of commands being sent continuously from server to vehicle). This vastly reduces network (e.g. WiFi) requirements.
