…sessions at the event will be a roundtable on interoperability for autonomous mobile robots. Many autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) entering warehouses and other environments are managed by vendor-provided software and connect with other enterprise systems. However, concerns about interoperability have arisen as fleets expand and different robots from multiple vendors need to collaborate with one another, as well as human workers. “We're very active in the AMR space, as well as logistics,” said Florian Pestoni, CEO of InOrbit, who will be among the panelists. “That space has been on fire with investments and acquisitions. In the past, companies said, 'This…

Arendai Inc. today announced that its Harmony 1.0 Interoperability software system for autonomous mobile robots, or AMRs, takes advantage of several Intel products. Harmony 1.0 allows customers to manage multiple AMRs from several vendors under one system. It is designed to be used by logistics and warehouse operators and is compatible with VDA 5050 and other interoperability standards. In addition to providing interoperability capabilities, the software also allows customers to make digital twins and takes advantage of edge computing to expand the AMRs’ capabilities, according to Arendai. Arendai Using Intel Insights and Intel Smart Edge The San Diego, Calif.-based company…

The MassRobotics AMR Interoperability Standard allows autonomous mobile robots, or AMRs, from different manufacturers to share their capabilities along with basic information, such as their locations and what they're doing. The objective of the standard is to enable different mobile robots to work together effectively in the same warehouse or factory floor. However, as the interoperability standard is used only to observe how AMRs operate, vendors are not required to share the proprietary maps that their robots use to move around. Although compliance with the standard is not mandatory, it will likely help boost the adoption of robotics by end-user…

…into dynamic and flexible operations. Q: What role does interoperability play in the evolution of logistics robots? A: Interoperability is the key to the advancement of the industry as a whole. Automation companies are working together in pre-competitive collaboration to create greater efficiencies for their customers. To that end, we will start to see a shift and a tremendous increase in added value from self-driving vehicles much like we saw with computers and, later, smart phones, when they began to run apps and software developed by other companies. Q: What’s ahead for Vecna? A: In addition to the work we’re…

…also growing. Meili Robots recently released a report on interoperability. “Many in industry have talked about wanting to expand applications of robots, but they've been put off by interoperability issues or concerns on how to combine different systems,” said Aldus von der Burg, founder and CEO of Meili Robots. “They don't want to juggle between three fleet management systems. I haven't seen fully diversified fleets yet outside of a hospital, but people are talking about it.” Market challenges The global market for manufacturing and non-industrial robots is expected to reach €175.75 billion ($212.34 billion U.S.) by 2025, according to ABI…
