BlueBotics, a robotics firm based in Switzerland, has announced ANT Everywhere, a product extension designed to bring precise operations of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) to the outdoors with less expense, difficulty and hassle than is traditionally brought with the endeavor, according to a press release.

The approach relies on navigation systems leveraging GNSS with real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning.

"Prior to today, use cases such as transporting components or finished goods from one building to another have not been an easy proposition for AGV and AMR makers. ANT everywhere changes that," Nicola Tomatis, CEO at BlueBotics, said in the release. "This tightly integrated product extension enables manufacturers to offer new and robust 'ANT driven' vehicles that are accurate, quick to install, and perform as expected, whatever the environment."
