Architectural Layers & Navigation Stacks

Layer 1: Perception & SLAM Subsystem (3D LiDAR / RealSense RGB-D / Fast-LIO2 / Cartographer): High-frequency point cloud acquisition, IMU tightly-coupled pre-integration, and sub-centimeter real-time localization in dynamic environments.
Layer 2: Local Navigation & Model Predictive Control (TEB Local Planner / Timed-Elastic Band / Pure Pursuit): Real-time obstacle evasion, non-holonomic kinematic trajectory optimization, and dynamic ISO 3691-4 safety field switching.
Layer 3: Interoperability, Middleware & Fleet Bus (VDA 5050 v2.1 / ROS 2 Jazzy / Eclipse Zenoh / CycloneDDS): Standardized JSON/MQTT order ingestion, zero-copy intra-node IPC, and deterministic low-latency state reporting across multi-vendor fleets.
Layer 4: Swarm Orchestration & Traffic Optimization (Conflict-Based Search (CBS-MAPF) / Dynamic Block Reservation): Centralized or decentralized conflict-free multi-agent path finding, automated opportunity battery charging, and bottleneck mitigation.

Telemetry & Compliance: ±5 mm (Positioning Accuracy) | <8 ms (Fleet Dispatch Latency) | <12 ms (Safety Stop Reaction) | VDA 5050 v2.1 (Open Fleet Standard)

Continuous Boundary Patrol & Thermal Threat AI in SurveillanceUGV

Securing critical infrastructure, military borders, and high-value industrial facilities requires tireless patrol robots capable of detecting intrusions in zero visibility. SurveillanceUGV formalizes long-range multispectral surveillance payloads and persistent autonomous operations.

Core Engineering Areas
