Robotics Package

Robot development made easy

Robotics Package provides all of the basic functionality required to productize specialized robots or robot-driven systems, allowing customers to focus on building unique added value and drastically reduce their time to market.

Build innovative Robot-powered products that fit a specialized need in the market. Robotics Package consists of all of the necessary baseline functionality out-of-the box, and showcases Sony's robotics expertise.

Defining and implementing robotics products from scratch requires time, resources and know-how. Robotics Package has taken care of the heavy lift by implementing perception, navigation and a full-featured control subsystem. On top of that, flexible APIs allow developers to create end-to-end applications. This enables companies to focus on creating value for their customers, such as tailored workflows.

All software products can be updated over-the-air using AITRIOS’s cloud services, which ensures that users always have quick access to the latest features.

Beyond providing just a platform, Sony is looking for strong partnerships to help bring innovative robotics products to the market.

Robotics Package enables the efficient development, deployment and operation of autonomous mobile robots or AMRs.

Optimization at its core

Sony provides three key technologies that help to optimize the development, deployment and operation of AMRs.

This allows system integrators and hardware vendors alike to enable solutions tailored to unique business requirements.

Sequence Control

Move smoothly through intersections and around cul-de-sacs.


RNS

Robot Navigation System

A comprehensive package of key functions for autonomous navigation.

Detect System Status

Automatically detect anomalies and perform an emergency stop or take other actions to ensure safety.


Sensing system for AMR

Hardware companion powered by RNS.

The sensing system for AMR combines Multi dToF sensors, an RGB sensor, IMU and optimized software, all in one module. This eliminates the need for development to connect the sensors and adjust filters, supporting rapid AMR development.

Within this single module, the sensing system acquires the environmental information required for localization and detection of obstacles, including low-height and overhanging objects.

It offers a higher performance at a lower cost compared to conventional AMRs, that use a combination of 2D LiDAR and depth cameras in a single module.
