  1. MOW-BY-SAT The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community's Framework Program (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° 227824. Dissemination March 2010

  2. Content • Project objectives • Presentation of consortium • Essential • Economical feasibility • Technical feasibility • Application development and demos • Results exploitation

  3. Project objectives • Prove that satellite navigation can be used as “primary mean” of service robots guidance • Illustrate by a technical example: • autonomous mowers • Analyse business models for that market • Answer to the question: How to take benefits of the European NAVSAT: EGNOS and Galileo

  4. Project Consortium MOW-BY-SAT • GNSS in robotics The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community's Framework Program (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° 227824.

  5. Economical feasibility • Intersection of 2 markets • Emerging market: • Essential benefit in flexibility w.r.t. wired boundary of field • New marketing mix • Imposes • a very accurate positioning function • A low cost positioning function Service robot market GNSS application market Robot guidance market GNSS machine control

  6. Technical feasibility • « Required Navigation Performance » for robotic guidance • Accuracy/repeatability: • sub-inch in relative coordinates • Integrity • A few decimeters of protection level with integrity risk of 10-5 /hour (typically) • Availability and continuity of service according environment and type of robot mission • Performance simulator • Analysis of performance augmentation thanks to EGNOS/EDAS and Galileo (from GIOVE A & B up to FOC) • Satellite constellation to be used; • Masking and attenuation environment. • Behavior and performance assessment: • test of GNSS systems and navigation /control algorithms

  7. Technical feasibility Position Resolution Block Satellite Based Localization Simulator (SBLSim) • Development of the simulator GNSS Constellation Simulator Constellation ephemeris/almanacs NonT NonT UDP UDP UDP UDP Raw Measurements • Robot Real Position/Speed • Satellites Attenuation Frame: AS1 AS2 … AS24 Robot Estimated Position/Speed Control Signals UDP UDP UDP UDP Robot Dynamical Simulator (RDSim) Navigation Block Simulator (NBSim) U-CAT U-CAT

  8. Technical feasibility

  9. Moving area For robot B only Radio station Work area For robot A & B Forbidden area Radio+GNSS+charging station Flexible Boundary Work area For robot B Moving area For robot A&B Work area For robot A charging station Application development and trials • Before MOW-BY-SAT (without NAVSAT): • An excellent mower robot from Belrobotics • But no flexibility (wired boundaries) • With MOW-BY-SAT (NAVSAT): • An excellent mower robot • Working in modifiable virtual boundaries • Able to cross boundaries without mowing • Able to work in a group • ….

  10. Application development and trialsHow it works? With the MOW-BY-SAT technology: Red track →Robot guidance becomes possible

  11. Before : Wired boundaries Application development and trialsHow it works? • Recharging station linked to lawn boundaries • Mower shall always be inside the lawn • Random pattern • No flexibility

  12. geo fence mode/geo line mode Application development and trialsHow it works? • With NAVSAT technologies • Recharging station is not necessary linked to the fields • Mower is always precisely located • large flexibility to change the fields • Random pattern=geo fence • Optimized pattern= geo line

  13. Application development and trials • First demo organized in October 09 in “Stadium of Toulouse” with : • Selection of field • Geo fence • Geo line Credit ESN A. El Amin

  14. Results exploitation • End of project in July 2010 • A second demonstration of the BIGMOW equipped with a GNSS guidance system is planed in April on a golf of the neighbors of Brussels (“Golf 7 fontaines”) • Potential of Exploitation: • Commercialization agreement between Belrobotics and NAV ON TIME • potential customers: expression of interest from “Golf de TEOULA”, and “Nouveaux Golfs de France” • Extension to other machine control issues • Expectation of use of Galileo signals as soon as possible (according availability of receivers)
