…would you open a door and get in an elevator? Does that even make sense in terms of ROI [return on investment]? We'll see folks enter and exit this space.” “We need a robot that can operate in both indoor settings like our sort facilties and outdoor settings,” he added. “5G will help navigation systems that get blinded in the transitions between nodes. We're starting to see sensors coming down in price, so we can put them in things smaller than autonomous cars. This is also useful for unloading airplanes—people don't know how much cargo moved on passenger planes during…

…as door openings as small as 80 cm, small elevators and under tables. Artificial intelligence leverages onboard cameras to identify people and nearby objects, providing additional operational context and insight. Consider the example of a picker or lineside employee. If the robot’s target destination is blocked from the left, the robot will use its contextual awareness to instead deliver from the right, minimizing disruption of the worker and the process. “The more agile robots are, the more useful they become, especially in existing environments with tight spaces,” said Thomas Visti, CEO, MiR. Named for its payload of 250 kg, the…
