Swift Navigation and Carnegie Robotics announced their first joint product at AUVSI xPONENTIAL: the Duro, a ruggedized version of Swift Navigation’s Piksi Multi dual-frequency RTK GNSS receiver.
Built for outdoor operations, Duro combines a rugged enclosure with centimeter-accurate positioning. Leveraging design principles typically used in military hardware, the GNSS sensor is protected against weather, moisture, vibration, dust, water immersion and unexpected circumstances that can occur in outdoor long-term deployments. In addition to its ruggedness, Duro is ready to connect right out of the box. Primary industries for this product include: robotics, precision agriculture, mapping, military, outdoor industrial and maritime.
Duro incorporates:
- Dual-frequency RTK GNSS
- Tough, military-grade hardware
- IP67 rating
- Weatherproof external enclosure design with M12 standard-sealed connectors
- On-board MEMS IMU and magnetometer
- Future-proof hardware with in-field software upgrades
- Protected IO, including RS232 Serial Ports, 100mbit Ethernet, Event Inputs, PPS, PV, CANBus
- Durable UV and chemical-resistant powder-coating
- Flexible mounting interfaces
