Follow Me​

In Follow Me mode, Antero follows the operator automatically while maintaining a safe distance. See Follow me.

Autonomous operation​

Assign missions and tasks in Karelics Cloud. Antero completes routes and workflows independently without continuous manual input — for example material transport loops, inspection routes, or site monitoring tasks.

Tablet control​

Use the tablet interface for intuitive on-site interaction with the robot and assigned tasks.

Voice control​

Voice control provides hands-free operation for selected tasks when enabled in your project configuration.
