Abstract
Siemens has developed a prototype of an autonomous navigation system for mobile service robots. Its suitability for tough everyday operation has been successfully demonstrated since August 1996 with cleaning machines in chain store supermarkets of Albert Heijn BV in the Netherlands. Here, HEFTER CLEANTECH (HCT) cleaning robots are being used in cooperation with the cleaning specialist RTB
