2 ANT allows your vehicle to localize and navigate completely autonomously. Installation process ANT is environment based ANT uses natural structures in the environment as reference for localization. No additional infrastructure is required (such as magnets, inductive wires or reflectors). Based on industry proven sensors ANT combines information from industrial encoders and laser scanners to reach an accuracy of ±1 cm and ±1. In fact, ANT directly uses the data from the safety laser scanners of your vehicle. 1. Joystick around Autonomous handling of obstacles ANT autonomously handles obstacles by either moving around them (obstacle avoidance), or adapting the speed to avoid emergency situations (path following). 2. Confirm references 3. Define graph Single vehicle installation becomes feasible One major problem of traditional AGVs is the cost of the installation. The infrastructure free ANT driven vehicles allow for the economical installation of even a single vehicle in a large and/or complex building.
