SLAMGrid Navigation Suite (SGNS) – Real-Time SLAM and Localization Utility

A pre-wrapped 3D SLAM and localization utility using RTAB-Map or Google Cartographer, designed for plug-and-play integration into mobile robotic platforms.

What It Does

  • Builds 2D/3D maps of the environment in real time
  • Localizes the robot within the map
  • Anchors objects or zones detected by VIBR
  • Feeds spatial context to Qognix for location-based decision-making

Example Use Cases

  • Patrol robots mapping unknown buildings
  • Delivery bots navigating indoor zones
  • “If Alex is in the kitchen → send alert” (by anchoring VIBR detections in SLAM space)
