Modern robo car are forced to rely on accurate digital maps and navigation system, so automakers actively hunted Nokia cartographic heritage in the face of HERE service. Chinese search engine Baidu also experiences only in those areas of Beijing, which creates an exact three-dimensional digital maps. It turns out that the autopilot depend on the infrastructure of the system: they are not only forced to use terrain maps, but also rely on GPS satellite signals in the determination of origin.
Founded by scientists at Oxford Oxbotica British company claims that its software suite enables Selenium robotic vehicles to work without GPS. In particular, such "autonomous" management system will automate transport, to move in underground rooms and warehouses. In addition, robo car will be able to navigate in those areas that do not create a digital map.
Due to what is achieved such a degree of independence, the developers did not explain, but succinctly mention the use of laser scanners and camera location. Apparently, robo car focuses on the form a cloud points in three-dimensional space.
The system recognizes not only static obstacles and moving objects. By mid-2016 Greenwich begin trial operation of the eight minibuses, automatically moving through the city.
