Term Explanation

Map

The map is a combination of information retrieved from the navigation system installed on the smart device and additional elements added by the user.

For example: The Lidar system on James or Cruzr will fill in the map for the location and additional elements (POIs or walls) can be added using ZBOS Control.

Wall

A virtual obstruction, added to the map to block the device from moving to restricted areas.

POI

A Point Of Interest for the device to quickly and safely navigate to.

SLAM

The scanning- and navigation system installed on the device.

Scanning mode

A mode used to update the map while the device is moving.

Navigation mode

A mode used to move the device without updating the map. Note however that obstacles will still be detected while the device is moving.

For example, the map will remain the same but the device will move around temporary obstacles (e.g. boxes, desks, …​)
