Wany has developed very efficient navigation algorithms to avoid and bypass any obstacles, regardless of their color, material and of their shape and thinness (table, chair leg, …). Obstacle avoidance is one of the key navigation requirements for housecleaning autonomous mobile devices. Regarding thin obstacles, Wany uses triangulation and dead-reckoning-error algorithms to enhance the performance of the telemeters and obstacle avoidance software. This functionality is difficult to obtain because of the high price of precise telemeters (often ultrasonic in this case), Wany Robotics can use both market-available telemeters and our patented IR telemeters to perform the obstacle avoidance algorithms at a very low price.

Video 1 : table leg avoidance This video demonstrates Wany’s algorithm embedded in a vacuum cleaner. The robot cleans under a table. (8,2 Mo, 1’12”)

Video 2 : Unexpected Obstacle Avoidance This video demonstrates Wany’s algorithm embedded in a vacuum cleaner. The robot avoids persons and cushions. (8 Mo, 1’10”)
