We are adding heaters to our warehouse scanning robot so that it can run autonomously in a cold storage warehouse. This picture is the robot after being in the -30 °C (-20 °F) freezer for an hour. The glowing spots are the critical lidar sensors and a camera. The idea is to maintain their temps above the dewpoint of the normal air so that when the robot exits the freezer, its sensors won't fog/frost over.
