Precision Angle Measurement
Naviq's Patented Breakthrough
Naviq's magnetic guide sensor features a unique and patented capability to measure the track's angle of incidence with 1-degree precision. It will also reports the track's position with 1mm accuracy.
This exclusive dual functionality ensures unparalleled precision in both orientation and positioning, significantly enhancing the navigation capabilities of mobile robotic systems
Predictive Steering
See the Curve, Stay on Track
Unlike standard magnetic line following sensors that simply detect a path's position on one dimension, Naviq's unique angle detection lets the robots mathematically evaluate the track's curvature.
The robot can now distinguish between going off track, and therefore the need to apply only small trajectory corrections and entering a curve and therefore proactively apply sustained steering. The result is much improved tracking and higher speed.
Point-Source Positioning
Millimeter-Precise Docking
Another Naviq exclusive is the detection along the X and Y axis of point-source disk magnets with millimeter accuracy. By installing one or two such magnet at a precisely known locations, it is possible to evaluate the robot's position and orientation with very high accuracy. This feature makes the sensor a valuable accessory for precise last-millimeter positioning to charging and docking stations on robots using laser or vision navigation.

(Almost) Free Location Markers
For a robot to operate autonomously and safely, knowing its location along the track is key. Markers made of magnetic tape with reversed polarity are strategically positioned to identify areas requiring speed adjustments, signal upcoming forks and merges, and indicate proximity to stop areas such as charging or docking stations. The sensor's ability to detect left, right, and coded combinations of markers provides a highly reliable and cost-effective localization solution. A unique merges and forks management algorithm makes changes of directon at forks smooth as silk.
