Does WOX Relay require GPS to navigate?

WOX Relay uses a combination of localisation technologies including GNSS (GPS), onboard sensors and pre-mapped site data. In environments where GPS signal is limited — such as indoor areas — the vehicle relies on sensor-based localisation. Specific capabilities are confirmed during site assessment.

How does Relay handle obstacles it has not encountered before?

Relay detects obstacles in real time using its sensor suite. When an obstacle is detected, the vehicle stops or attempts to navigate around it depending on the situation. If it cannot proceed, it alerts the remote operations team for assistance.

Can Relay navigate in the dark or low-light conditions?

WOX Relay uses sensors that are not solely dependent on visible light — including radar and ultrasonic sensors. Specific low-light performance is confirmed during site assessment.

How are routes updated if the site layout changes?

Routes are managed within the WOX Fleet Platform. When site layouts change, WOX engineers update the route maps during a scheduled maintenance visit or remotely where possible.

What is the maximum speed of WOX Relay?

WOX Relay operates at low speed appropriate for controlled-environment operation alongside pedestrians and other vehicles. Specific speed parameters are confirmed during site assessment and deployment configuration.

Autonomous Navigation

How WOX Relay
Navigates Autonomously

WOX Relay uses a combination of pre-mapped routes, real-time sensor data and onboard AI to navigate controlled environments — detecting obstacles, adjusting routes and completing missions without a human driver.

What Is Autonomous Navigation

Defined. Mapped. Executed.

Autonomous navigation is the ability of a vehicle to move from one location to another without a human driver — using sensors, maps and onboard computing to understand its environment and make real-time decisions.

WOX Relay's navigation is designed for controlled environments — campuses, industrial facilities, airports and managed outdoor areas — where routes are pre-defined and the operating zone is known. This approach enables reliable, repeatable autonomous operation within a defined site.

Route Planning

Pre-mapped routes define the paths Relay follows. Routes are created during site commissioning and stored in the WOX Fleet Platform.

Localisation

Relay continuously determines its position using GNSS, onboard sensors and pre-mapped site data — maintaining accurate positioning throughout each mission.

Obstacle Awareness

Cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors detect obstacles in real time — people, vehicles, objects — and trigger appropriate responses.

Dynamic Route Adjustment

When an obstacle cannot be avoided, Relay adjusts its path or stops and alerts the remote operations team for assistance.

Why It Matters

The Foundation of Autonomous Logistics

No Driver Required

Autonomous navigation eliminates the need for a human driver on every vehicle — enabling continuous operation without shift changes or fatigue.

Consistent Performance

Pre-mapped routes and sensor-based navigation deliver consistent, repeatable mission execution — regardless of time of day or operational conditions.

Safe in Shared Spaces

Real-time obstacle detection enables Relay to operate safely alongside pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles in shared environments.

Conditions and Limitations

Designed for Controlled Environments

WOX Relay's autonomous navigation is designed and validated for operation within defined, controlled areas — not unrestricted public roads. This is an important distinction.

Controlled environments provide the predictability and defined boundaries that enable reliable autonomous operation. All deployments begin with a site assessment to confirm that the operating environment is suitable.

Operates within pre-defined, geofenced zones — not unrestricted public roads

Routes must be mapped during site commissioning before autonomous operation begins

Performance in extreme weather conditions is subject to site assessment

Significant changes to site layout require route map updates

All autonomous operations are subject to applicable local regulations
