About ANT Navigation

ANT Navigation localizes vehicles by matching laser-scanner data with fixed environmental features such as walls, pillars and machines. The software uses scanners already fitted for safety, eliminating magnetic tape, reflectors and embedded guidance infrastructure.

BlueBotics supplies localization, vehicle-control and fleet-management components for integration by vehicle manufacturers. ANT everywhere adds GNSS for indoor-outdoor movement, while ANT server coordinates missions and traffic across fleets. More than 7,000 ANT-driven vehicles spanning over 150 vehicle types operate globally.
