Map the actual facility
Commission the robot against approved operating areas and real routes instead of assuming a generic floor plan represents site conditions.
SMART NAVIGATION & AUTONOMOUS MOBILITY
Smart Navigation & Autonomous Mobility
The current RIFE technology page explains markerless autonomous indoor movement using mapping and sensor fusion rather than fixed tracks, QR codes or floor tape.
SMART NAVIGATION & AUTONOMOUS MOBILITY
Overview
RIFE current product material for RifeBot separately publishes LiDAR, 3D cameras and ultrasonic sensing for that delivery-robot family. The broader technology page also discusses VSLAM+, LiDAR and multi-sensor fusion, but the new site does not apply one exact sensor stack or accuracy figure to every RIFE robot.
Navigation performance depends on the chosen platform and the real environment: corridor width, floor transitions, thresholds, glass, reflective surfaces, pedestrian density, movable furniture, restricted areas, Wi-Fi/network dependencies, lift behavior and charging location all need site validation.
Sensor-aware route execution
Use the selected robot specification to define what sensing, localization and obstacle handling are available for that model.
Dynamic-environment testing
Validate routes with people, trolleys, doors, furniture changes, narrow spaces, thresholds and the other conditions the robot will meet every day.
Markerless where supported
SLAM-style navigation can reduce reliance on fixed tracks or markers, while charging, lifts, doors, access control and network requirements remain project-specific.
Exception-first commissioning
Define what happens when a path is blocked, localization confidence drops, a door stays closed or a destination becomes unavailable.
CURRENT RIFE APPLICATIONS
Applications

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Does RIFE autonomous navigation require tapes or QR codes?
The current RIFE technology page positions its autonomous navigation approach as markerless, without magnetic tape, QR-code tracks or floor markers. The final site design still depends on the selected robot.
Which sensors does RifeBot publish?
The current RIFE Delivery Robots page publishes LiDAR, 3D cameras and ultrasonic sensing for RifeBot. That model-specific information should not be generalized automatically to every RIFE robot.
Can the robot operate when furniture or people move?
The current technology page describes real-time adaptation and obstacle-aware movement.
What should be tested before acceptance?
Test the real routes, congestion, thresholds, doors, lifts, restricted zones, charging path, network dependencies and blocked-path behavior under representative operating conditions.
