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)

Pedestrian Interaction & Multi-Stop Dispatch in UGVDelivery

Last-mile robotic transport requires courteous sidewalk integration, robust curb climbing, and secure multi-compartment cargo management. UGVDelivery formalizes the complete hardware and software stack for urban delivery fleets.

Core Engineering Areas

Sidewalk and Curb Navigation with Social Etiquette — Socially compliant navigation algorithms that respect pedestrian personal space, yield at crosswalks, and traverse standard Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps.
Secure Cargo Compartments and Tamper-Proof Telematics — Multi-bin electronic security enclosures with cryptographic one-time password (OTP) unlocking, thermal insulation, and anti-theft immobilization.
Multi-Stop Fleet Routing and Dynamic Battery Optimization — High-throughput cloud fleet scheduling that balances delivery deadlines, battery charging opportunism, and pedestrian congestion forecasts.
