In the tutorial video above, we’re going to show you how to use a Trimble R12. We’ll be doing that with Point One’s Polaris correction service using Trimble access on a TSE five controller. We’ll start by opening up Trimble access. The first thing we need to do is configure the receiver to use the […]
How Polaris accelerates construction layouts without sacrificing accuracy.
Check out this walkthrough of a fully autonomous racing car by Gary Passon, AI Racing Tech, from the University of California Berkeley ROAR team, during the Indy Autonomous Challenge during CES 2024 held this past January in Las Vegas. Being the official navigation technology partner for the IAC event was thrilling! Originally designed for human […]
RTK, or Real-Time Kinematic positioning, is a highly specialized technique that is revolutionizing geospatial positioning. Applications that depend on precise positioning, from land surveying to advanced robotics, are benefitting from RTK and the unprecedented accuracy in real-time location data that the technology offers. This article explains what RTK is, how it works, what the benefits […]
Real-time Kinematic (RTK) positioning continues to shape the landscape for industries requiring high-precision location data–with surveying at the forefront. An RTK survey employs the latest advancements in communication and navigation satellite technology, provides better accuracy, and reduces the common errors in other surveying techniques. Its application spans diverse fields, including transportation, disaster prevention, and engineering, […]
With recent developments in automation and machine learning, robotics has increasingly made its way into various sectors, helping to maximize efficiency and productivity. In land surveying, robotics growth is on the rise, and the industry stands to change dramatically thanks to the many versatile applications of survey robots. However, many surveying teams still experience challenges […]
When we think about construction projects, our minds are inclined to jump straight to the process of building. However, before a single brick is laid, there is a tremendous amount of work that goes into construction. The work that goes into mapping and staking out a construction site prior to laying any foundation is known […]
Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) technology enhances GPS accuracy to centimeter-level precision. From automotive and delivery systems to mobility, and robotics, this precision location data is critical. One of the major avenues in which businesses and developers can access this technology is through RTK rentals. RTK rentals could offer a convenient solution for those needing temporary access […]
Farm mapping and agricultural mapping are changing how we farm, leading us into a new era of agricultural technology. These methods are crucial for precision agriculture, preparing the ground for smarter farm management and the rise of farm robots. Companies like Monarch Tractor and Burro are leading the charge, with Burro recently securing $24 million […]
