Overview

RoboCV, X-MOTION is an "intellectual pilot system," which replaces a driver with an autopilot system that enables warehouse vehicles to operate autonomously around humans in a warehouse environment. The system is made up of two parts: a "server-side part," which interacts with the warehouse management system, coordinating distribution of tasks among the vehicles, and a "vehicle-side part," which makes the navigation decisions. As well as following pre-defined paths, the vehicles are able to respond dynamically to changes in the environment, such as a person crossing their path or a fallen pallet. A video camera and LIDAR (laser radar) – or LIDARs depending on the type of vehicle – mounted on the vehicle capture data about the environment, which is then processed by an on board industrial-grade computer (based on an Intel Core i5/i7 processor) running RoboCV's custom-built 3D-PATH software. This generates instructions that are sent to the guidance system of the vehicle, which controls the steering, accelerator and braking, and directs the vehicle's movement.
