No Markers, No Teaching Docking Point Setup in 5 Minutes

Navi-Dock is a HW+SW module that recognizes the actual shape of docking targets via camera to perform precision docking without separate markers like QR or V-markers. Setup is completed with just a 5-minute 3D scan per docking point. 2026 CES Innovation Award winner, Edison Award finalist.

Markerless Docking: Structurally Eliminates Installation, Maintenance, and Layout Change Burden

Existing marker-based docking requires installing and maintaining markers at each docking point, and docking fails when markers are contaminated or damaged. Markers must be reinstalled when site layout changes. Navi-Dock structurally eliminates these operational burdens by recognizing the shape of docking targets themselves. Even when docking targets change, 3D scanning alone provides an immediate response.

  • Eliminates marker installation and maintenance costs
  • Prevents docking failures from marker damage at the source
  • Immediate response to facility changes with 3D scanning alone
  • Vendor-independent add-on: applies without replacing existing AMR

Large-Scale Site Economics: Greater Effect with More Docking Points

Manual teaching takes 30 minutes to 1 hour per docking point. With 50 docking points × 5 robot types, teaching alone takes dozens of hours. Navi-Dock requires only a 5-minute scan per point, dramatically reducing setup time under the same conditions. The savings compound as the number of docking points and robot types increases.

  • Manual teaching 30min-1h/point → Navi-Dock 5min/point
  • ±5mm repeatable precision reduces charging failures and cargo drops
  • No re-teaching needed on site changes — 3D scan only
