• Mid-sized design and next-level maneuverability: The X6 ROVR’s thoughtfully designed footprint and advanced 3D LiDAR allow it to operate efficiently in both open spaces and congested areas. Real-time obstacle detection and adaptive routing help ensure safe, consistent performance in dynamic environments.
• Autonomous operation with real-time routing and performance tracking: BrainOS^® delivers proven autonomous operation with real-time rerouting capabilities for more intelligent navigation, remote deployment, and enterprise-level fleet management tools for performance tracking. Built-in reporting tools provide data-driven insights and help facility leaders monitor progress and drive improvements.
