About Northstar Robotics
Northstar Robotics supplies autonomous navigation and control technology for off-road machinery used in agriculture, airports, municipalities and industrial sites. Its OpenSteer platform combines multiband positioning, lidar, radar, cameras and machine-learning perception to keep vehicles within configured routes and geofences while detecting people, obstacles and equipment.
The system can connect implements such as plough blades, brooms and sweepers so location-based actions occur automatically. Lead-follow operation coordinates multiple driverless vehicles behind an operator, and a web interface exposes machine diagnostics and fleet status. Northstar supports both equipment manufacturers and retrofit programmes from initial vehicle integration through commercial deployment and field support.
