…Automobile Works (FAW) trucks and on automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Arbe said its sensors enable vehicles to have the perception date to be able to drive autonomously. The radars were first deployed at the RiZhao port but will be distributed to additional ports across China soon, the companies said. The news comes after HiRain announced that it is pursuing “major OEM and autonomous driving projects with the Radar Solution it developed using Arbe’s Perception Radar Chipset” earlier this year. HiRain said it expects the radar solution to hit mass production by next year. Reducing traffic collisions with autonomous technology Tel…

…codes/fiducials or magnetic tape, like an automated guided vehicle (AGV). This dual capability give LilBuddy greater versatility within its working environment, claimed Resgreen Group. What’s inside LilBuddy LilBuddy features front and rear solid-state 2D/3D lidars that are used to map the areas traveled in and detect obstacles in its path. Once LilBuddy learns the map, it can be dispatched to any location with triggers and commands from BotWay and BotWay connected devices. Routes, a series of waypoints and commands, can also be set up with a companion app or BotWay to specify exact movements and commands in long-distance travel or…

…family-owned company designs, makes, and implements automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Kivnon said it has global expertise in designing, prototyping, manufacturing, commissioning, and supporting AGVs and AMRs. Kivnon provides robots to multiple markets In late 2009, Prieto and Luis Gómez, co-founders of Kivnon, registered the brand and designed their first mobile robot, the K10 model, which they said was the most successful product in the automotive sector at that time. Growth continued as global economic tensions eased, according to the company. Kivnon's product portfolio includes small vehicles that tow carts or carry the load directly, tractors,…

…to scale up or down fleets. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) have different missions from collaborative robot arms or cobots, but they share similarities in being designed for ease of use and scalability. Managers looking to build or expand robotics deployments must understand their own processes to determine which are best to automate versus keep manual. In this free download, see what robotics suppliers, software providers, and end users have to say about the technologies, business partnerships, and industry trends shaping collaborative mobile robots. Such systems offer advantages over fixed infrastructure including conveyors, but most facilities…

…for transport and delivery. Other major automated guided vehicle (AGV) developers like Quicktron, JD.com, Geek, and Grey Orange are deploying thousands of robots yearly, while autonomous mobile robot (AMR) developers are just beginning to scale up. Brain Corp. has deployed 5,000 systems primarily in retail, and BlueBotics has deployed some 2,000 robots for intralogistics in and around the supply chain. Meanwhile MiR, an AMR company acquired by Teradyne in 2018, is beginning to achieve growth rates in excess of the company’s other robotics acquisition of major cobot developer, Universal Robots. The distinction between AGVs and AMRs can be contested, but…

…map of their environment and move around the warehouse free of external guidance. They are a step up from AGVs (autonomous guided vehicles), which require some form of guidance to perform tasks, and which mostly follow a fixed path. Instead, AMRs adapt in real time to the surrounding space, safely detecting and avoiding anything in their way. Without the need to follow a fixed path, they can get to more locations, quicker.

…arise when multiple systems — particularly automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) — are used in the same environment. Coming with different operating systems, these robots may not be able to communicate with one another. This can even lead to collisions, accidents, and delays in operations. “Now, logistics companies will be able to buy hundreds, if not thousands, of different palletizing and pick-and-place robots before interoperability becomes a major issue,” said Aaron Prather, a senior technical advisor at FedEx Express. “However, when it comes to mobile robotics, interoperability is already becoming an issue.” With the increases in…
