SELECTIVE THREE-DIMENSIONAL LOCALIZATION AND NAVIGATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

A method may include receiving a 3D point cloud of a space, identifying points of the 3D point cloud at selective locations of the 3D point cloud, and comparing the points to a map of the space to localize an AGV within the space. A method may include receiving a 3D point cloud of a space, identifying multiple points of the 3D point cloud at respective beam angles from a sensor, and comparing the multiple points to a map of the space to localize an AGV within the space. A method may include receiving a 3D point cloud of a space, identifying first and second sets of points at respective first and second 2D planes, and comparing the sets of points to a map of the space to localize an AGV within the space. Additional methods and associated systems are also disclosed.
