Multiple Imaging Radars Integrate with INS/GNSS via AUTO Software Reliable and Accurate Positioning for Autonomous Vehicles and Robots

Difficult GNSS environments and adverse weather conditions require a fusion of many sensors to maintain lane-level accuracy for autonomous platforms, without incurring high costs that would inhibit widespread adoption. Radars are an attractive option in a multi-sensor integration scheme due to being robust to adverse weather and insensitive to lighting variations. The multi-radar integrated version […]

AUTO: Multiple Imaging Radars Integration with INS/GNSS for Reliable and Accurate Positioning for Autonomous Vehicles and Robots

Autonomous driving is a field that has gathered much interest in recent years with significant research directed at solving the localization problem. To enable a fully autonomous platform, the navigation system is required to provide accurate solutions at high rates, and be reliable and always available in all types of environments. These requirements necessitate the […]

The Quarantined Workforce: How to Mitigate the Biggest Threat to Business in 2021 

Hundreds of millions of people have experienced quarantine and work disruption over the past year, and the rapid spread of the coronavirus is overwhelming the capacity of public health agencies to conduct traditional contact tracing. Without accurate contact tracing, it can be difficult for employers to identify possible close contacts. Employers may under or over-estimate […]

Indoor Positioning for Big Venues: What Works Best? 

It’s been said that Indoor Positioning is going to revolutionize industry. There is no denying the massive impact GPS has had on society and business; therefore, it is difficult to ignore the potential of a positioning technology that capitalizes on where human beings spend more than 70% of their time – indoors! The ability to […]

Tight Coupling Between Radar and INS/GNSS with AUTO Software for Accurate and Reliable Positioning for Autonomous Vehicles

A realized autonomous vehicle requires a ubiquitous, accurate, precise, and reliable localization system. Nowadays, the market is full of sensors that can be used for Positioning and Navigation; each with its strengths and weaknesses. Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) are usually used to build Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). INS can be accurate within short durations; however, […]

Reliable Localization on Micro Mobility Platforms for Public Safety and By-law Compliance

Micro mobility is a fast-evolving market attempting to solve the “last mile” transportation problem. Major cities around the world are seeing a proliferation of dockless, light-weight, and two-wheeled vehicles to mitigate traffic congestion on local roads while also providing a convenient “last mile” solution. E-scooters and e-bikes are the most common platforms deployed by ride-share […]
