As part of this collaboration, the Vision-RTK 2 positioning sensor developed by Fixposition is to be integrated in the Guangpo autonomous street sweeper from Autocity, as the press release explains. Autocity is working together with Fixposition in order to set new standards in the use of autonomous street sweepers.
