It interconnects the company&#8217;s 3D Ultrasonic Echolocation Sensor \u201cECHO ONE DK\u201d to an automated guided vehicle (AGV) or autonomous mobile robot (AMR) infrastructure, enabling AGVs and AMRs to avoid collisions with all kinds of obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>The TPU DK features advanced data processing algorithms which are used to communicate to an AGV\u2019s or AMR\u2019s control system via standardized outputs, whether an obstacle violates the user-configurable warning and stop zones. This takes away the hassle of complicated integration procedures. The user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) visualizes the adjustable 3D warning zones and stop zones, which are configurable to suit different use cases.<\/p>\n<p>Individual sensor parameters can also be adjusted in the GUI together with the sensor vehicle positioning. Alternatively the sensor also offers a \u201cfusion mode,\u201d where the TPU DK delivers pre-filtered point cloud data to another processing device via ethernet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe combination of Toposens ECHO ONE DK and Toposens Processing Unit DK provides our customers with an unprecedented 3D Ultrasonic Collision Avoidance for AGVs and AMRs. By detecting even the most complex objects in 3D space with a small blind zone, customers are able to reduce costly accidents while ensuring highest safety in any industrial environment\u201d, Alexander Rudoy, CTO and Co-Founder of the company, said.<\/p>\n<p>The TPU DK offers multiple communication interfaces for flexible deployment, provides a user-friendly GUI and operates on a very low power consumption of less than five watts.
