…What’s more, the mobile robots of today use advanced navigation technologies that allow them to operate with zero or minimal guidance infrastructure, which adds to their flexibility compared to the automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) of the past. AGV vendors also offer smaller, “smart AGVs” that, like mobile robots, need minimal or no guidance infrastructure. “Perhaps the biggest change in the market is the move to navigation that allows the vehicles to operate without anything on the floor or reflectors on racks or columns,” says Sarah Carlson, vice president of AutoGuide, a mobile robotics vendor. “Not needing special guidance infrastructure is…

…through production sites, carry out multiple tasks, or carry playloads. Just as autonomous vehicles require increasingly sophisticated perception and navigation technologies to be safe and reliable, so do emerging industrial robots need the advantage of modern motion control. Those who embrace it are not just embracing new technologies; they are creating new ways to perform tasks and assist human beings.

…travel on sidewalks and navigate around obstacles. Computer vision-based navigation helps the robots to map their environment to the nearest inch. Starship said its robots can cross streets, climb curbs, travel day and night, and operate in both rain and snow, said the company. To get started, users open the Starship Deliveries app, choose from a range of their favorite food or drink items, then drop a pin where they want their delivery to be sent. They can then watch as the robot makes its journey to them, via an interactive map. Once the robot arrives, customers receive an alert…

…administrators with monitoring capabilities. The console also allows telemetry, navigation, and operational data to be collected and even shared with other robots. Using contextual AI, Ottonomy’s autonomous mobile delivery robots navigate through crowds within PIT’s terminal, learning how to interact with a variety of people. Source: Pittsburgh International Airport Vijay said during initial deployment, only one or two robots are needed to map the operating environment, sharing the data with other robots through the network. Over the course of a few days, Ottonomy’s robots use 3D lidar sensors and cameras to collect both geometric and semantic data to produce a…
