Selfie Aligner:

  Selfie Aligner is a vision-based system for calibrating a mobile robot to a workplace.

A mirror in the calibration tag let the camera see it self and align to the tag with an angular precision fare better than traditional systems With a calibration to the workplace within 1 mRad the robot arm will be able to work at the workplace with (almost) same precision as a fixed robot.

Similar to the "last mile" problem for the delivery industry, traditional mobile robots have a "last centimeter" problem. With there lack of precision, they can only be used for "box handling".

The Selfie Aligner solve this problem. The ability to perform high accuracy tasks will take mobile robots to the next level and can spark a breake through for mobile manipulators.


See what is possible with the Selfie Aligner in the small videos below.
They give a quick intro to the what is possible with high precision alignment.
