A costmap in robot navigation is a grid that assigns each cell a traversal cost from obstacles and safety margins, guiding planners to safe, efficient paths.
GNSS, the global navigation satellite system, gives outdoor robots absolute position and time by measuring signals from GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou.
Obstacle avoidance is the robot navigation capability that detects obstacles near the robot and adjusts its motion in real time to prevent collisions.
An occupancy grid is a robot navigation map that divides space into cells, each holding the probability that the cell is occupied by an obstacle.
Path planning computes a collision-free route for a robot from its start to a goal, optimizing criteria such as length, travel time, safety or energy use.
RTK GPS is a satellite positioning method that uses carrier-phase corrections from a base station to give robots centimeter-level position in real time.
