SeaX Drive · for manufacturers
SeaX Drive is the autonomous driving stack that runs our vehicle. We license it to electric platform manufacturers so their vehicles can operate driverless within a defined operational design domain: a closed site, only along the routes on its map.The autonomous driving stack of our vehicle, licensed so your platform can operate driverless on a closed site, only along the routes on its map.
Integration
It runs on our vehicle and is the basis of the SX-1, the security robot. On your platform it adapts to the sensor set-up and the vehicle interface.

The LiDAR, the cameras and the GPS work together: they detect what is around and place the vehicle on the site’s 3D map, to the centimetre, without depending on GPS alone. SeaX Drive adapts to different sensor set-ups.

How it drives
The software runs on the on-board computer: perception and navigation do not depend on our server.
01 / 04
The LiDAR, the cameras and the GPS work together: they detect what is around and place the vehicle on the site’s 3D map, to the centimetre, without depending on GPS alone.
See detection, on the SX-1 robot page02 / 04
The global planner sets the route; the local planner adjusts the path to the immediate surroundings.
03 / 04
Follows the planned path and steers around stationary obstacles on its route. It acts on steering, propulsion and braking.
04 / 04
The system detects faults in real time, with two independent detection paths. It responds to a fault in steps: reduced speed, a controlled stop or an emergency stop.
03Mapping
The vehicle drives around the site and builds a three-dimensional map from LiDAR point clouds. The scene is created on that map, and the vehicle localises itself on it with centimetre-level precision, combining the LiDAR and the GPS, without relying on GPS alone.
The LiDAR captures the surroundings as point clouds.
The scene is created with it: paths, routes and zones.
LiDAR and GPS together, with centimetre-level precision.
Validation
We test the system first in simulation, then on a closed track and at Teruel Airport, our test site. On your platform we follow the same order.

Who leads it
SeaX Drive is led by Eugenio Alcalá. PhD from UPC, visiting researcher at UC Berkeley. Led planning and control on RIMAC Automobili’s autonomous driving programme.
