What is Nav?
Nav is a system of robotic hardware components that allow users to control a vehicle both manually and robotically.

How it works
NAV is a system of robotic components that installs easily into any vehicle platform, converting it from manual to robotic control. Because each vehicle from each manufacturer is slightly different, we developed by-wire, mechanical, and hydraulic modules to accommodate for different vehicle types.

[actiongroup title=”Vantage” link=”/products/vantage/” img=”http://www.asirobots.com/wp-content/uploads/pages/products/Nav_05.jpg”]
Vantage software and sensors improve safety for robotic vehicles, initiating see-and-stop or see-and-avoid behavior when vehicles encounter obstacles in the environment.

[actiongroup title=”Blackbox” link=”/contact/get-more-info/” img=”http://www.asirobots.com/wp-content/uploads/pages/products/Nav_06.jpg”]
Just like an airplane black box, the ASI BlackBox software upgrade enables the VCU to record critical data logs to a MicroSD card for playback and analysis.

[actiongroup title=”Bridge” link=”/contact/get-more-info/” img=”http://www.asirobots.com/wp-content/uploads/pages/products/Nav_04.jpg”]
Because each vehicle is fundamentally different, Bridge acts as an interface module that enables the vehicle’s ancillary systems to correspond with ASI software and components.

[actiongroup title=”Spotpoint” link=”/contact/get-more-info/” img=”http://www.asirobots.com/wp-content/uploads/pages/products/Nav_16.jpg”]
SpotPoint mounts to the roof of any vehicle and acts as a protected casing for vital autonomous components such as GPS and radio antennas, cameras, and warning beacons.

[actiongroup title=”Forecast” link=”/contact/get-more-info/” img=”http://www.asirobots.com/wp-content/uploads/pages/products/Nav_15.jpg”]
The first step in environmental awareness, this specialized LiDAR sensor produces a 3D area readout that identifies potential obstacles and integrates seamlessly with Vantage.

[actiongroup title=”Steering Ring” link=”/contact/get-more-info/” img=”http://www.asirobots.com/wp-content/uploads/pages/products/Nav_17.jpg”]
For mechanically operated vehicles–like most consumer automobiles–the steering ring serves as a powerful robotic steering solution with improved speed and torque.

[actiongroup title=”E-Stop” link=”/contact/get-more-info/” img=”http://www.asirobots.com/wp-content/uploads/pages/products/Nav_14.jpg”]
The on-board and remote emergency-stops (e-stop) serve as a safety override, immediately halting all vehicle operations, as well as a toggle between manual/automatic control.

[actiongroup title="Actuators" link="/contact/get-more-info/" img="http://www.asirobots.com/wp-content/uploads/pages/products/Nav_12.jpg"]
Electro-mechanical actuators are used exclusively or in tandem with electric and hydraulic components to control vehicle functions: steering, throttle, brakes, and transmission.

[actiongroup title="Additional Options" link="/contact/get-more-info/" img="http://www.asirobots.com/wp-content/uploads/pages/products/Nav_13.jpg"]
Redundant components may be included—such as a second GPS to provide vehicle heading or additional cameras to enable a wider field of view or to monitor special functions.
