Carnegie Robotics & Swift Navigation showcase Duro, a GNSS receiver at Xponential 2017
NewsMay 09, 2017
DALLAS. Carnegie Robotics LLC and Swift Navigation partnered to develop their first joint product, Duro, a ruggedized version of Swift Navigation?s Piksi Multi dual-frequency RTK GNSS receiver. The release of the product was made at this year's Xponential, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International?s (AUVSI) conference.
Duro combines a rugged enclosure with centimeter-accurate positioning. It leverages design principles used in military hardware, the GNSS sensor is protected against weather, moisture, vibration, dust, water immersion and unexpected circumstances that can occur in outdoor long-term deployments.
