01
Positioning across thresholds
GNSS is restricted indoors, while loading doors bring obstruction and lighting changes. Different frames or positioning systems complicate transitions.
Impact: position discontinuities and interrupted transfers
INDUSTRIAL LOGISTICS / LOGISTICS
Industrial logistics.
Keep material moving, indoors and out.
Connect positioning, perception, dispatch and vehicle control for AGVs, AMRs and site transport vehicles moving between warehouses, loading areas and outdoor routes.
Shared trafficAisle access01 / FIELD CHALLENGES
One transport mission crosses multiple positioning conditions.
Define the solution around actual operating conditions.
02
People, vehicles and moving obstacles
People, forklifts and temporary loads change available space. Obstacle handling must match perception with speed, payload and braking performance.
Impact: repeated stops and increased risk
03
Changing layouts and repeated integration
Routes, racks, loading points and vehicle types change. Distributed sensors and interfaces add calibration, commissioning and maintenance work.
Impact: more commissioning and maintenance effort
02 / SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE
Fuse navigation across every segment of the journey.
Combine GNSS, IMU and stereo vision to provide position, attitude and depth. Decouple navigation from execution for integration with the existing chassis, dispatch and safety controls.

APPLICATIONDispatch and station integration
Configure missions, records and feedback with the application system.
01
Positioning and frame alignment
Use GNSS outdoors and visual-inertial information indoors. Align map, station and chassis frames, then validate door transitions, repeat routes and recovery.
Evaluate: transition continuity and frame consistency
02
Depth perception and obstacle response
Stereo depth supports traversable-space perception, complemented by other sensors as needed. Coordinate navigation with slowing, stopping, emergency stops and alerts for the actual payload and braking distance.
Evaluate: sensor coverage, response chain and stopping distance
03
Standard integration and tuning
Integrate navigation with existing AGV or AMR controls while retaining dispatch and business logic. Standardize mounting, timing, station docking and redeployment tests.
Evaluate: interfaces, synchronization and maintenance

Match the integration to the mission.
Warehouse to loading area
Connect aisles, door transitions and loading routes with fewer positioning-system handovers.
Production and campus delivery
Validate route boundaries, crossings and shared zones for replenishment and site delivery.
Forklift and sorting platforms
Provide navigation and perception; fork control, precise load handling and interlocks remain coordinated machine functions.
05 / INTEGRATION & VALIDATION
Integrate with clear interfaces. Validate with field data.

NAVIGATION / EXECUTION
O2 + HopoEngine
GNSS/IMU + color stereo
Evaluate O2 for color vision and fused navigation outputs, or O1 MAX where additional obstacle observations are required. Confirm device configuration and machine safety functions separately.

QUESTIONS / ANSWERS
Clarify the key questions before integration.
Define the environment, interfaces and delivered scope with HOPO.
Can this replace the machine safety system?
Navigation and depth perception are parts of the machine. Personnel detection, protective stops, emergency stops and interlocks require machine-level design and site risk assessment.
Can we retain dispatch and chassis controls?
The integration approach separates navigation and execution. Confirm interfaces, frames, timing, vehicle models and task feedback with the existing controls.
Are maps or site configuration still needed indoors?
The indoor approach depends on texture, route stability, maps and operational requirements. Fusion does not remove mapping or configuration needs in every environment; determine them through site tests.
