NorthStar Localization Solution Adds Depth to Company's Navigation Product Line and Offers OEMs New Option for Robotic Consumer Products
Pasadena, Calif - October 5, 2004 - Evolution Robotics, a leading provider of next-generation robotics technologies and component solutions, today introduced NorthStar(tm), a new, low-cost, hardware and software localization solution that enables mobile devices to navigate more intelligently in indoor environments.
Similar to global positioning systems (GPS), the NorthStar system measures a device's exact coordinates and heading using harmless and invisible IR light spots projected onto the ceiling of its environment. By triangulation, the NorthStar system can instantly determine the device's exact position and heading with very high accuracy. Unlike GPS however, NorthStar works indoors, is more precise, and provides instantaneous and absolute course information
