The ROKIT Locator is a modular, laser-based software component for simultaneous localization of mobile robots and mapping of dynamic industrial environments (SLAM). The software component is hardware-independent and thus suitable for a wide range of vehicle types such as mobile robots and manually driven forklift trucks, laser scanner types and positions as well as industrial computers.

The powerful algorithm uses the information from up to two laser scanners installed on the vehicle to reliably capture and map the natural environment (natural navigation). In addition, the real-time location system (RTLS) detects changes in the environment while driving, automatically updates the digital map of the surroundings and then makes it available to the entire ROKIT Locator fleet (automatic map update). The localization is reliable, robust, and accurate to within a centimeter – without requiring any modifications to the infrastructure like reflectors or markers. In special situations such as open spaces, additional sensor data such as wheel rotation (wheel odometry fusion) can be optionally considered.
Thanks to the flexible integration options, easy setup, and intuitive use of the localization software, you can reduce your development and application efforts as well as the service needs of your end customers with the ROKIT Locator. This not only shortens your time-to-market, but also allows you to focus fully on your differentiating features.
