ZMP now knows that geckonav is...
...big time breakthrough AI nav software for all mobile robots!
they have seen the 120+ videos and now they have been evaluating a basebot for a couple of months.
don't think the basebot normally includes geckoorient.
geokoorient is really, really cool "sensor fusion" tech
Frost and Sullivan like it:
http://geckosystems.com/investors/third_party.php
orient "sensor fuses" dead reckoning, compass and accelerometer to achieve high accuracy, no accumulated error and low cost.
why? to have a very low cost for the robot to know which direction it is facing. like an internal compass, but more accurate since magnetic compasses "dance" at times due to metal structures, etc.
really, really innovative tech from gosy!
huge markets in family care, professional healthcare and commercial security-
all using basebot tech like ZMP is evaluating!
