Autonomous Exploration, Data Acquisition, Processing & Visualisation

Q-Bot专门从事建筑环境中的机器人服务，使建筑和基础设施的维修、维护和升级更容易、更便宜、更安全、更有效。最初的应用是以当前成本的一小部分对建筑物进行地板下绝缘改造，并且没有使用机器人在目前人类操作员无法进入的环境中进行绝缘的传统方法的麻烦，而没有令人望而却步的破坏和费用。该服务目前正与包括地方当局和住房协会在内的许多客户商业化(近100个地点成功隔热，我们的客户承诺了300多个地点)。该项目将建立在我们现有的机器人车辆系统的基础上，在提供商业服务的同时，在苛刻的环境中进行测试和验证，并将开发一种创新的新的自主导航能力、新的ROS和接口，允许对未知环境进行自主导航、数据获取、处理和测绘(完成对象/特征评估和编目)。

Q-Bot specialises in robotic services in the built environment, that allow easier, cheaper, safer and more effective repair, maintenance and upgrade of buildings and infrastructure. The initial application is the retrofit of underfloor insulation to buildings at a fraction of the current cost, and with none of the hassle of traditional methods using a robot to apply insulation in an environment which is currently inaccessible for human operatives without prohibitive disruption and expense. The service is now being commercialised with a number of clients including Local Authorities and Housing Associations (with almost 100 sites successfully insulated and over 300 committed to by our clients). This project will build on our existing robotic vehicle system tested and validated in demanding environments while delivering commercial services and will develop an innovative, new autonomous navigation capability, new ROS and the interface that allow for autonomous navigation, data acquisition, processing and mapping of unknown environments (complete with object/feature assessment and cataloguing).
