B.<\/p>\n<p>It will allow the robots to avoid obstacles they might not otherwise have detected, such as elevator shafts and newly dug trenches.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to ROSBIM, a mobile robot will be able to <strong> operate in full autonomy in the complex and constantly changing environment <\/strong> of a construction site, as the interface will improve the robot\u2019s perception of its surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Employees can also use its <strong> follow-me <\/strong> function to ask the robot to follow them, a bit like a logistics assistant.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe
