Robot Navigation System

Navigate anywhere.
Autonomously.

Movel AI's Robot Navigation System delivers production-grade autonomous navigation for any robot in any environment. SLAM mapping, multi-floor routing, lift integration, and <50ms obstacle avoidance — all in a vendor-agnostic package.

// Navigation Capabilities

Built for complex real-world environments.

Precision SLAM Mapping

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) builds and maintains accurate 2D/3D maps of your facility in real time, with sub-centimeter positional accuracy.

Multi-Floor Navigation

Navigate seamlessly across floors with automatic lift calling, door opening, and elevator integration — all handled by the Movel RNS stack.

Dynamic Re-routing

When obstacles appear, robots re-plan paths in under 50ms. Traffic jams and unexpected blockages are handled automatically, no human intervention.

Building System Integration

Native integration with lift controllers, automatic doors, HVAC zones, fire systems, and access control — the robot becomes part of your building infrastructure.

Mesh Fleet Localization

Robots share map updates with each other in real time. When one robot discovers a change, all robots in the fleet update their maps instantly.

Safety-First Design

ISO 3691-4 compliant safety zones, emergency stop integration, and person-detection with safe speed profiles for human-robot shared spaces.

// Technology Stack

ROS 1 & ROS 2 native. Open-RMF ready.

Movel RNS runs natively on both ROS 1 and ROS 2, so you can deploy on your existing robots today — and migrate at your own pace.

// ROS 2 STACK

ROS 2 — Current Standard

The recommended stack for new deployments. Built on ROS 2 Humble/Iron/Jazzy with Nav2 as the navigation backbone.
