Introducing the Alphasense Autonomy Evaluation Kit

Making Visual Navigation Quick & Easy‍

Zurich, Switzerland - 01.06.22. Today, Sevensense is excited to announce the upcoming release of the Alphasense Autonomy Evaluation Kit. This new product allows OEMs to test Alphasense Autonomy, the most advanced autonomous navigation solution, in a quick and easy way.

The Evaluation Kit is a true plug-and-play system that combines the Alphasense multi-camera hardware with Sevensense’s proprietary navigation stack. Bringing together the benefits of Visual SLAM positioning with advanced AI local perception and navigation tech, this solution allows OEMs to quickly deploy, run and test their vehicles even in highly dynamic environments.

Alphasense Autonomy builds on top of the existing Visual SLAM localization product, Alphasense Position, and the company's expertise in vision and robotics technologies to enable the next generation of smart autonomous mobile robots.

Highest precision and reliability in dynamic environments

Today’s warehouses and production settings are often shared with people, resulting in very dynamic and unstructured environments that challenge traditional AGVs and AMRs.

With Alphasense Autonomy, Sevensense leverages the 360 degrees view of the vehicle’s surroundings and cutting-edge 3D Visual SLAM technology to offer precise and reliable positioning capabilities in all environments, both indoors and outdoors, over uneven floors and ramps.

Moreover, thanks to the use of advanced 3D perception algorithms and, optionally, third-party sensing, the system offers a variety of navigation modes including virtual path following,  obstacle avoidance, and free navigation. 

All the intelligence of Alphasense Autonomy is run on the edge, with no dependency on connectivity for steering the vehicle.

‍Fastest deployment of vehicle fleets

Traditionally, the deployment of robot fleets at the end-customer locations is very expensive and time-consuming. With Alphasense Autonomy, Sevensense dramatically reduces installation costs and time by enabling high repeatability across the fleets of robots without the need for lengthy on-site calibration procedures, eliminating any need for auxiliary infrastructure, and saving the time required to manually clean a recorded map.

All this becomes possible thanks to the adoption of Sevensense’s technologies like automatic sensor calibration and map updates.

In addition, Alphasense Autonomy supports common industrial layout formats as well as the VDA5050 communication protocol which enables interoperability among multiple vehicles and makes it compatible with a number of fleet management systems including NAiSE’s traffic control system.

Coming Soon‍

The Alphasense Autonomy evaluation kit is ready for order now and will be released by the end of 2022. Personalized support and advice will also be provided by Sevensense’s experts, aiming to provide you with a product configuration and integration process tailored to your vehicles.
