$RGGI The solid-state LiDAR camera uses a proprietary MEMS mirror scanning technology that provides depth data at high resolution and high accuracy. LiDAR would enable RGGI to provide extremely reliable natural feature guided AMRs, which require no tape, tags or reflectors to operate. LiDAR would allow the vehicles to map the surrounding area by scanning the area using light pulses.

"The recent push for autonomous driving on our roadways helped LiDAR units become much more affordable, accurate and compact - making them ideal for automated vehicles that operate inside of buildings," says Parsh Patel, CEO of RGGI. "LiDAR has become a promising option due to its accuracy and rapid response rate, which is needed to ensure the safe operation of our AMRs."

LiDAR works by emitting very short pulses of light, which are reflected by objects back to the sensor. The system then measures the time this light needs to travel from the sensor to the object and back. The distance between the object and the sensor is calculated based on the time-of-flight and on the speed of light. A 3D map of the vehicle's surroundings can be generated from all the distances to objects.

In addition to testing the new LiDAR technology, RGGI is also preparing to manufacture its vehicles in the U.S.

"We think it's important that all of our AMRs and AGVs be manufactured in the U.S. to create jobs and ensure the highest quality," says Parsh Patel, CEO of RGGI."Manufacturing in the U.S. allows us to offer fast delivery of vehicles and parts to our American and Canadian customers."
