It recognizes the "signpost" as a landmark with the built-in camera and enables autonomous movement through its unique control system.
"SIGNAS" distinguishes itself from AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) that require route tapes, commonly used in many manufacturing and logistics sites, by implementing a unique autonomous movement control system that realizes an unprecedented new guidance method. 【SIGNAS features easy route setting and modification, requiring minimal maintenance】 ■ Easy teaching - Simply install markers (signposts) - Easy setup without the need for programming knowledge - Quick initial installation with low setup costs ■ Easy layout changes - No need for route tape modification work - No need for map reconfiguration 【Simple guidance method with three settings】 Just place the signpost (marker) at the desired location 1. Set the actions (forward/curve/spin turn/stop) 2. Set the SIGNAS travel route based on the distance from the signpost 3. Set the spacing of the signposts/travel distance 【Transport method】 "SIGNAS" can be used for both loading and towing. Permissible load: 150kg when loaded / 500kg when towing.

basic information
**Features** 1. Easy setup with a unique autonomous movement control system The robot measures the distance and orientation to installed signposts (markers) using an embedded stereo camera, controlling its movement actions (start, curve, spin turn, stop) along the route. Setting the route only requires the installation of signposts, with no complicated programming knowledge needed. Additionally, changing the route is as simple as moving the signposts. Since there are no route tapes, there is no hassle with layout change construction. 2. Versatile applications and operating environments "SIGNAS" can be used for both loading and towing. While typical AGVs (automated guided vehicles) used for material transport at construction sites or logistics within factories have limited locations and applications, "SIGNAS" can operate in areas with steps or ramps, as well as semi-outdoor areas with roofs. It can be utilized for a wide range of applications according to the conditions of the operating environment, space, and transported items. 3. Complete safety stop function Equipped with LRF (laser range finder) and bumper sensors to detect obstacles during movement, it will safely stop if there are any obstructions in its path.
