A couple of years ago, we were testing an autonomous warehouse rover in a hangar—cold, echoey, full of metal shelving. The heading kept drifting, sometimes by 15 […]

Precision is the heartbeat of modern geomatics, but for decades, that heart has skipped a beat whenever a surveyor stepped under the “green shield” of a forest canopy. While Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning has mastered the open field, the dense, multi-layered environments of forest stands have remained a final frontier of sorts—riddled with signal drops, […]
