Development of Navigation Algorithm for Robots
Ateleris developed optimization algorithms for a robotic system (carebot) to find the shortest path (around obstacles) from A to B. Later, Ateleris added discovery algorithms to enable the robot to map the floor plan and its obstacles autonomously.
SAVY Robotics builds robots used in industry and the healthcare sector. The system supports precise and reliable indoor positioning.
Ateleris developed navigation and mapping algorithms in Java, with which the care robot can find the most direct path between positions A and B, even in areas of 400 by 400 meters. The algorithm can calculate the shortest route and, if obstacles are detected (people, objects, etc.), can avoid them and find a way around. Only with this newly developed algorithm, the robot can react in real-time.
In a follow-up project, Ateleris added an autonomous mapping algorithm to enable the care robot to learn about its surroundings and create a floor map and all (static) obstacles within the room.
