Advanced Mobile Robots (AMR)
About AMR
In the manufacturing industry, AMR stands for Autonomous Mobile Robot. These are self-navigating robots used for material handling, logistics, and other tasks within factories and warehouses. Unlike Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), which rely on predefined paths(such as magnetic strips or tracks), AMRs use sensors, cameras, and AI to move dynamically through a facility, avoiding obstacles and optimizing routes in real-time.
Key Features of AMRs in Manufacturing:
- Autonomous Navigation–Uses LiDAR, cameras, and AI for path planning.
- Flexibility–Can adapt to changing environments without physical modifications.
- Efficiency–Speeds up material transport, reducing human labor.
- Scalability–Easily integrated into existing workflows.
- Safety–Equipped with sensors to avoid collisions.Common Uses of AMRs in Manufacturing:
- Transporting raw materials or finished products.
- Assisting in assembly lines.
- Warehouse picking and packing.
- Delivering tools or components to workstations
