Customer’s voice is the specification:
Customers feed back on more installations of autonomous ground robots proves that specified mobility requirements were underestimated… Indeed, if pathways of robots can be flatened & free from obstacle in indoor industrial facility, it is far from true in real environments.
Indoor means stairs, elevators, doors, narrow & crowded rooms.
Outdoor means far more than gravel pathways… In urban environment, we find sidewalk steps, roadwork trenches or holes, all kinds of gates & safety barriers. And in natural environments, there are tight trees in woods, streams, steep slopes, sand, mud, snow & ice.
Customers expect robots that MOVE AS GOOD AS HUMAN.
In a nutshell, customers need is: first to go to the right place & then to perform. We tackle & solve the first challenge, and partly the second.
