Vespa has unveiled technology that helps robots follow each other.To do this, they
“Most robotics companies are watchingto the world as a space of obstacles, - said Greg Lynn, CEO of PFF o ffi cer. "We decided to take the opposite approach, so we decided to investigate how robots and humans physically move through space."
Scientists noted that this method will acceleratethe process of replacing remotely controlled robots moving along predetermined routes in mapped environments. They will be replaced by devices that achieve their goal due to the technology of following a specific landmark.
Robot with superhuman perception detects objects through walls
New concept of positioning, modeling,communication and data analysis are placed on the Spot robot platform. Their idea is to eliminate joystick control while preserving the functionality of the robot. The team sees the follow the leader technology as useful in the autonomous trucking industry.
“This technology provides an intuitiveuser experience and opens the door to collaborative robots that can assist live personnel, ”said Aviad Almagor, vice president of Emerging Technologies, Trimble. “In the future, they can help construction professionals in their day-to-day work, transport heavy equipment, and improve work efficiency and safety.”
Within two months, Trimble conductedtests using a Spot robot equipped with laser scanning and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sensors. The researchers decided that the tests were successful.
