Features

What the CE82A does.

Control and navigation
Two operating modes: beyond-line-of-sight remote control and autonomous navigation. Dual-antenna RTK positioning with virtual boundaries.
Perception and obstacle avoidance
3D lidar, a full-colour camera and a 3D camera, for obstacle detection and avoidance as described in the product literature.
Work management
Path planning, zoned operation, and display and recording of the work track.
Full basket and recharging
Vision-based full-basket detection, with automatic delivery and unloading when the basket is full, as described in the product literature. Recharging by direct charging or quick battery swap.

Functions are as described in the product literature. How automatic unloading is set up at a given range is confirmed per delivery configuration.
