Totally different - as I said they use machine vision and your quote proves it. GeckoNav(tm) - now branded as SavePath(tm) is software that can use any sensor and any locomotion system. They can use laser depth cameras - NASA system can't. GOSY uses sensor fusion so can achieve true 360 degree awarenesss.

Thanks for digging up that quote that shows that NASA system is nothing like GOSY's as I originally said.

Your statement "I haven't a doubt NASA already has the tech" is an assumption. Mine is based on DD. The geckosystems.com has lots of info on how their software works.

GeckoNav actually slows down when a moving obstacle (the rover is worried about moving obstacles) is within range so it can come to a smooth stop if necessary. This is an absolute necessity for the auto. You can see it in the videos on the site.


2) On hazard avoidance [The cameras use visible light to capture stereoscopic three-dimensional (3-D) imagery. The cameras have a 120° field of view and map the terrain at up to 3 m (9.8 ft) in front of the rover. This imagery safeguards against the rover crashing into unexpected obstacles, and works in tandem with software that allows the rover to make its own safety choices.]

This does show NASA had the capabilities GOSY has. How different are they? I don't know frankly. Like I said, Nissan could be looking for something that suits their eco-sys better than NASA, but I haven't a doubt NASA already has the tech, & Nissan has publicly announced their continual partnership with NASA.
