You can’t avoid what you can’t see — navigate confidently and avoid potential accidents with Trimble perception technology. Maintain reliable positioning data to keep your autonomous projects safe and on track.
Leverage multi-sensor systems that deliver reliable data, even in GNSS-denied environments. Trimble perception technology includes simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to reliably track motion and inertial navigation systems (INS) to calculate relative vehicle positioning.
- Reliably determine positioning information, even within challenging farming environments

Vehicle automation
Driverless vehicles – those capable of sensing the environment and navigating without human input – require robust positioning and orientation information at all times, in all environments. This information is necessary for the vehicles' navigation and control systems.

By leveraging lidar-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) your vehicle has the freedom to reliably navigate in any environment. Scale your autonomy operation with robust scene understanding and obstacle detection — even in GNSS-denied areas.

Every application and operating environment is unique but sufficient coverage doesn't mean you need every sensor on the market. A one-size-fits-all approach can be costly. That’s why Trimble solutions are customizable to connect you to the data you really need.
