Autonomous vehicles are growing in popularity and acceptance in areas ranging from factory floors to mine sites and personal transportation. Methods for perceiving the environment either between vehicles, or between the vehicle and a remote operator, can vary. Cameras provide visibility, while sensors and satellite systems can offer applications in other areas. Particularly for outdoor purposes, snow, sleet and other environmental factors can obstruct signals. By developing code and maximising the potential of 3D Lidar, a new programme called GIMNavi, developed by robotics and navigation company GIM Ltd, Finland, is being developed to help overcome such challenges.
