Missions: Photo documentation beta

We are thrilled to announce the new Photo documentation mission support in Karelics Cloud. Although it is currently marked as beta – it can already be used on construction sites.
Karelics Cloud, robot fleet management app UI.
Just choose the points where the 360 photo should be taken and send the robot to do its job. Even though it is the first version, since we have multi floor navigation for robots running with Karelics Brain – operators can already choose the points on different floors and robot will find the way to autonomously navigate between them.

For each point operator can see the little preview of the photo. Clicking on it opens a full screen preview with possibility to zoom in and out, enter a full screen view, download current picture view and switching between pictures from different points.

Show the name of the area on the map
Karelics Cloud, robot fleet management app UI.
Now the name of the area will be visible on the map making it easier to use the areas in creative way and giving the operator always a clue what does this area on the map stand for.
Added corresponding icons in floors selector

Now icons of floor types stay consistent between the creation buttons, floor selector and maplinks shown on the map.
Pack of performance improvements:
  • Did big optimisation work in our operator UI to show data in more “real-time” when the internet connection is weak or unstable
  • Improved the device smooth movement on the map. Now it is way more reliable in case of weak or unstable internet connection
  • Improved handling of map during mapping phase
  • Improved switching between maps
Pack of stability improvements:
  • Some security improvements
  • When by some reason creation of new floor had been canceled or completed with error – the corresponding maplinks and the map will be removed from UI. Before operator had to remove them manually that sometimes led to misunderstandings and bad data
  • In some rare cases the waypoint had disappeared from the map
  • Thanks for beta-testing – made some major fixes for our mini-cloud in multi-device support and some edge-case scenarios
  • Found and fixed a bug in battery usage statistics. Now the calculation is correct
  • Long saving of map – we know it was very annoying to wait. In fact was just a little frontend bug
  • Creating of map with the same name as deleted map was not possible
  • Shown time in notifications in some rare cases was wrong + added a proper message in case of error happened on creation of a new map
