Acuity Localization
Acuity localization uses an upward-facing camera to localize the platform using overhead
lights, which it compares with lights stored in its map. This can be used in circumstances
where laser localization is difficult, either because the environment has too many changing fea-
tures or simply not enough features for laser localization. If there are many objects, such as pal-
lets or carts, which change location frequently, they may not be on the platform’s map, and
may also block the laser’s view of features that are on the map. In such cases, Acuity loc-
alization may be a better choice than using the safety scanning laser for localization.

High-Accuracy Positioning System
This allows an AMR to achieve accurate alignment at a specific location, typically at a fixed
conveyor, using a sensor to detect magnetic tape at that location.
