…the company. The TR-301’s metal enclosure includes flanges for easy wall mounting, an LCD display for messages, and LED indicator lights to show system status. A standard transmitter antenna attaches via a short coaxial cable for flexible mounting options, WiBotic said. A built-in Ethernet port allows external systems to monitor and control the transmitter using the company’s Web-based application programming interface (API) or the WiBotic Commander software for fleet energy management. The TR-301 supports onboard chargers that mount on a drone or robot to control battery charging when the vehicle lands or docks. The products can be retrofitted to existing…

…examples of self-navigating robots. Drones: Also known as uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), these robots use software-controlled flight plans that work with GPS. Drones are used in various fields like surveying, delivery services, and agriculture. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs): These robots function in underwater environments for applications like oceanography, oil and gas exploration, and archaeology. Prospective users should evaluate the mobile robots whose designs best address the demands of the task at hand. Mobile robots can provide multiple benefits AMRs and related systems can help businesses in various sectors in the following ways: Increased efficiency: Robots can operate 24/7, significantly increasing…

…WiBotic The OC-150 onboard charger is designed for unmanned aerial vehicles and smaller robots, delivering up to 150W of power and up to 10A of current, depending on battery voltage. It supports multiple battery chemistries and has an output voltage range of 9V to 58.5V. The compact TR-150 transmitter uses the latest gallium nitride (GaN) transistors from WiBotic partner GaN Systems Inc. It is designed primarily for use with the OC-150 but supports all WiBotic onboard chargers when deployed in diverse robot fleets. Delivering up to 150W of power, its new GaN-driven power amplifier has a 95% efficiency – leading…

…and joining the workforce. Unlike their wheeled, tracked, and aerial counterparts, legged robots excel at traversing rough terrain and other types of unstructured environments. Their ability to climb, step, and crawl makes them uniquely adapted to certain applications and use cases in which wheeled bots simply wouldn’t work. These bots can be packed with a variety of sophisticated sensors, such as high-definition cameras, thermal cameras, lidars, 2D and 3D laser range finders, and gas sensors for measuring air contamination. These sensors facilitate autonomous navigation and allow for intelligent localization and object detection. What’s more, these quadrupeds are typically flat on…

…that require faster, smarter, more flexible robots that are easy to set up and require less capital investment. AGVs have been around for decades but primarily used to support operations around production lines such as transportation of raw materials, semi-finished goods and finished goods between manufacturing and attached plant buffers. AGVs are being tested in large warehouses where repetitive tasks dominate but manually operated forklifts are still preferred for smaller operations. AMRs are more advanced as they can use dynamic navigation instead of being restricted to fixed routes and operate safely in an environment of workers and forklifts. Using AI-driven…
