Autonomous Locomotion Setup

Scoped indoor navigation and mapping for robotic platforms

Configure indoor navigation capabilities that help compatible robotic platforms understand mapped environments, follow predefined routes, and operate within validated spaces under human supervision.

Autonomous Locomotion Setup enables waypoint navigation, patrol workflows, destination-based movement, and obstacle avoidance in pre-scoped indoor environments.


Prepare robots for controlled autonomous movement

Autonomous navigation requires more than adding sensors to a robotic platform. Reliable operation depends on understanding the environment, validating routes, configuring navigation workflows, and preparing the system for practical use.

Futurology helps organizations deploy indoor navigation capabilities by combining environmental mapping, route configuration, system validation, and supervised operational preparation.

FAQ

1. What environments does Autonomous Locomotion support?
Pre-scoped, single-level indoor environments with stable Wi-Fi connectivity. Spaces are mapped and validated before deployment.
2. Does it work in multi-story buildings?
No. Autonomous Locomotion supports single-level navigation only. Stairs, elevators, and multi-level transitions are not currently supported.
3. What 360° camera do I need?
Camera requirements are confirmed during the technical scoping process. Different cameras and layouts produce different reconstruction quality.
4. How does mapping work and how long does it take?
Mapping involves a 360° capture session of your environment, followed by 3D reconstruction and validation. Timeline depends on the size and complexity of the space.
5. What happens if the layout changes after deployment?
Significant layout changes may require re-mapping and re-validation. Minor changes to furniture or obstacles may be handled by the obstacle avoidance system, but this is not guaranteed.
6. Can the robot operate without Wi-Fi?
No. Stable Wi-Fi connectivity is required for navigation, monitoring, and emergency stop functionality.
7. What is semantic goal navigation?
Semantic goal navigation allows you to send the robot to named locations (e.g., “go to Lab 3”) instead of specifying coordinates. Location names are defined during the mapping and configuration process.
8. How is obstacle avoidance handled?
The system uses sensor data to detect and avoid obstacles within the mapped environment. However, unmodeled obstacles, glass surfaces, and dynamic environments may reduce effectiveness.
9. Does the robot operate unsupervised during patrols?
No. Human supervision is required during all navigation sessions, including patrols. An operator must be available to intervene and trigger emergency stop if needed.
10. Is Autonomous Locomotion available outside the US?
No. All Robotics Division products and services are available for US deployments only.
