Field robotics and autonomous systems
Trimble® OEM GNSS delivers high-accuracy, continuous mobile positioning for a wide range of field robotic applications, whether it be through tele-operated or fully autonomous machine control.
Precision position and orientation forms the foundational building block for enabling field robotic automation, especially in dynamic or variable conditions. Trimble high-precision GPS/GNSS systems provide reliable location information so that OEMs and system integrators can build capable, versatile and adaptive robots across numerous industries. Robotic applications span a wide and diverse range, including construction’s “dusty robots,” farming “agribots,” warehouse autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for logistics automation, autonomous lawnmowers for turf and lawn and many more.
GPS or GNSS systems used in the field robotics industry are typically categorized as either “teleoperated,” relying on satellite positioning as a guide to a remote operator for semi-autonomous tasks, or “fully automatic,” where exact information can be programmed into the robots to operate entirely free of human intervention.
Field robotic solution recommendations
Trimble BD940
The BD940 is a single-antenna, triple-frequency receiver that can track all GNSS constellations in a compact form factor to allow for integration into tight spaces. Its integrated MSS-band enables Trimble RTX service right out of the box.
Trimble BD9250
The BD9250 is a dual-frequency L1, L2 or L5 field-switchable GNSS receiver with integrated MSS-Band to support Trimble RTX service.
Trimble AV29
A lightweight, helix-based quad-frequency GNSS L-Band antenna with a versatile small form factor and low power consumption design.
