Artificial intelligence for mobile robotics
Yona Robotics is developing an artificial intelligence platform dedicated to autonomous mobile robotics that combines robustness, safety and performance.
Yona Robotics sells perception, navigation and decision-making software solutions accessible to all mobile robotics manufacturers – AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots).
The solutions is based of a standard hardware and software platform, designed to be installed in mobile robots to provide them with the desired perception and navigation capabilities, using sensors chosen specifically for the type of application.
In addition to this product offering, Yona Robotics provides services to support its customers in adopting the technology and integrating it into their robots, and if necessary, developing specific components for integration into the customer’s solution.
Products offered by Yona Robotics
Yona Robotics offers 2 main product families. The « Perception & Navigation » offering enables robots to operate in complex environments. When required by the application, this offering is complemented by the « Safe Perception » offering, which enables compliance with the normative requirements linked to the deployment of specific applications.
Perception & Navigation offer
1. The ‘Yonasoft Pro Outdoor’ environmental perception and navigation offering, tailored to the segment of land mobile robots operating in complex outdoor environments (uneven ground, adverse weather conditions, etc.).
In particular, this offer includes an estimate of the shape of the ground and its suitability for the robot, identification of static and dynamic obstacles, and global and local trajectory generation;
2. A ‘Yonasoft Pro indoor’ environmental perception and navigation offering tailored to the segment of land mobile robots operating in complex indoor environments.
In particular, this offer integrates the management of moving objects and human presence, and the generation of optimal trajectories for avoiding dynamic obstacles.
Safe Perception offer
Sold under the name YonaSafe, this offer enables manufacturers to equip their robots with a safe anti-collision system that meets the regulatory requirements governing the various applications. It is particularly well suited to AMRs operating in industrial environments where people are present, and which must comply with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Advantages
The Yona Robotics offering stands out in several respects: its ability to be certified, its robustness without compromising performance, its low integration costs, and also thanks to the promise of being able to navigate robots in unknown and unstructured environments.
Certification
Mathematical rules and models created by Man, not Machine, to explain and formally demonstrate the perception and navigation mechanisms used.
Performance & responsiveness
Intimate collaboration between perception and navigation, enabling higher travel speeds.
Optimised obstacle avoidance trajectories in a dynamic environment.
Object recognition (semantic modules) and their specific handling.
Navigation in unknown and unstructured environments
By estimating the shape of the ground and identifying drivable areas.
No need for mapping or prior knowledge of the environment.
Robustness
Probabilistic approach incorporating sensor and environmental uncertainties.
Fusion of data between different sensors
– lidar, radar, ultrasound, camera –
Robustness in the face of sensor loss
Fusion of data between different sensor modalities.
Low integration costs
Quick and easy software integration into your robotics system. A generic data fusion platform that is agnostic of the type of sensors used.
Integration support services
No learning phase, no massive data requirements. Embeddable software on low-cost hardware platforms.
