Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) are particularly relevant in the fields of automation, industry and Factory 4.0 as well as robots. They refer to robots that can move through their environment independently and without human control. Their "eyes" consist of modern sensors and cameras that help them recognise obstacles and find a safe path on their own.
AMRs are primarily used where goods or materials need to be transported. In modern warehouses, for example, they pick up parcels and deliver them to different stations, helping to organise work processes faster and more efficiently. In contrast to traditional, rail-based transport robots, autonomous mobile robots (AMR) can adapt flexibly to new environments or changed routes.
An illustrative example: In a large online shipping warehouse, an AMR drives completely autonomously through the shelves, picks up a specific parcel and brings it to the dispatch station. In doing so, it safely avoids people or obstacles and always finds the shortest route - all without human intervention. Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) thus make a significant contribution to making industrial processes faster and more efficient.
