Autonome mobiele robots (AMR) is een begrip binnen de industriële digitalisering en digitale transformatie & industrie 4.0/5.0.
Definitie
Autonome mobiele robots (AMR) zijn zelfrijdende robots die zich onafhankelijk door industriële omgevingen kunnen bewegen zonder externe geleiding. Ze gebruiken sensoren, camera’s en AI voor navigatie en kunnen taken uitvoeren zoals transport, inventaris en inspectie.
Kenmerken
- Autonomous navigation: Self-directed movement zonder physical infrastructure
- SLAM technology: Simultaneous Localization And Mapping voor environment understanding
- Obstacle avoidance: Dynamic path planning around people, equipment, obstacles
- Fleet coordination: Multi-robot coordination voor optimized workflows
- Load handling: Various payload capacities en attachment mechanisms
- Safety systems: Emergency stops, collision avoidance, human detection
- Wireless connectivity: Real-time communication with fleet management systems
- Adaptive behavior: Learning from environment changes en operational patterns
- Modular design: Interchangeable top modules voor different applications
