About Sevensense
Sevensense provides high-performance Visual AI solutions designed to give mobile robots and industrial vehicles "eyes and brains." By utilizing advanced Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) and 3D perception, the platform enables vehicles to navigate complex, dynamic environments without the need for external infrastructure like beacons or reflectors. Now integrated with ABB’s global robotics ecosystem, the technology aims to bridge the gap between manual operations and full automation by providing a unified spatial awareness across entire fleets.
The core of the technology lies in the Alphasense product line. Alphasense Position offers a multi-camera, industrial-grade Visual-SLAM solution that performs 3D positioning on the edge for ground vehicles. It constructs accurate 3D maps and uses AI to localize the robot regardless of lighting changes or environmental shifts. Alphasense Tracker extends these capabilities to manually operated vehicles, such as forklifts, creating a Real-Time Locating System (RTLS). This allows warehouse managers to track all assets—autonomous and manual—on a single map to eliminate bottlenecks and optimize traffic flow.
This suite is primarily intended for manufacturers of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), industrial vehicle OEMs, and logistics facility managers. It is particularly effective for those operating in GPS-denied indoor environments, such as large-scale warehouses, manufacturing plants, or commercial cleaning sectors. Companies like Wetrok use it to power professional cleaning robots, while intralogistics providers use it to optimize material flow and ensure workers and robots move in sync through shared spatial awareness.
What distinguishes Sevensense from traditional LIDAR-based or beacon-based navigation is its reliance on camera-based perception. The system is designed to be "infrastructure-free," meaning it can be deployed rapidly without modifying the physical environment. Its ability to handle "human-like perception" allows it to remain reliable in highly dynamic settings where objects are frequently moved, or where lighting conditions vary from bright sunlight to total darkness. This adaptability reduces operational costs and asset downtime while extending the life of existing manual fleets.
