AMR (Indoor)
Use Case Description
Various types of AMRs which mainly operate at indoor environments such as factory, office building, shopping mall and hospital, especially with dynamic objects and scenery changes.
Overview
Visual/3D-Lidar based SLAM enables operating AMR at following environments/usage, which existing 2D-Lidar based indoor AMR couldn’t handle:
- High robustness even in environment with dynamic objects and scenery change
- Can be started/ re-started from anywhere on the map (doesn’t need to set initial position in advance)
- Can be operated at indoor-outdoor mix environment
- Can be used at use cases with non-flat environment such as slope and step
Kudan’s Visual/3D-Lidar SLAM can be offered independently, or integrated to leverage both camera and Lidar. Also, it can be fused with other sensors flexibly (e.g. IMU, 2D-Lidar, Wheel Odometry, Marker), depending on use case requirement.Kudan’s unique map-handling features also helps to reduce costs in deployment and operations of autonomous applications at broader scale, rather than the limited area for PoCs.
Furthermore, Kudan is capable to support full navigation system in addition to SLAM.
The benefits of Kudan software
- More accurate and robust localization with Visual SLAM and/or 3D-Lidar SLAM against scenery changes and dynamic objects
- Faster time-to-market compared to internal development or open-source based approach
- Productivity improvement due to faster operation speed
- Overall hardware cost reduction through lower grade sensors
