Inside the Development of Autonomous Mobile Robots

Are we in for an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) takeover? Not exactly. But we can expect to see more AMRs implemented across industries to streamline production, improve operations, enhance work safety, and increase productivity. That’s because recent technology advancements have made the hardware and software components necessary to building these systems more cost-effective and accessible. And with artificial intelligence becoming more mainstream, it’s now possible not only to create AMRs capable of doing human tasks but integrate them into human worker environments. In this episode, we talk about how all this is possible today, what we can expect in the future, top applications and opportunities for industries, and all the ins and outs of developing, deploying, and implementing AMRs safely and securely. Join us as we explore these ideas with: Claire Liu, Senior Product Marketing Manager, congatec Timo Kuehn, Systems Architect and Product Manager, Real-Time Systems Christina Cardoza, Editorial Director, insight.tech Claire and Timo answer our questions about: The meaning of autonomous mobile robots Implementing AMRs safely on the factory floor Developing AMRs to meet real-time demand Taking a modular approach when designing AMRs Tools and technologies necessary for AMR development Biggest use cases and opportunities for AMRs today AMR advancements we can expect Related Content To learn more about autonomous mobile robots, read IoT Virtualization Jump-Starts Collaborative Robots.
