At Gobotty, AMRs require no costly infrastructure modifications thanks to the use of Lidar technology, a key innovation in robot navigation and orientation. This makes implementing AMRs simpler and more cost-effective for businesses.

What is Lidar?
Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is a technology that uses laser light to accurately map the environment. A Lidar system emits laser pulses and measures the time it takes for these pulses to bounce back from objects in the surroundings. This enables Gobotty AMRs to create a detailed and accurate 3D map of their environment.

Advantages of Lidar-Based Navigation
The benefits of Lidar-based robots include:

  • No infrastructure required
    Gobotty AMRs do not rely on physical infrastructure, such as magnetic strips or reflectors, for navigation. This saves time and costs, as no modifications to the existing work environment are necessary. Businesses can optimize their warehouses or production facilities without extensive renovations.
  • Flexibility and adaptability
    Thanks to Lidar technology, Gobotty AMRs can easily adapt to changes in their environment. Whether it’s temporary obstacles or layout adjustments in a warehouse, the robots can automatically adjust their routes and maintain efficiency under all conditions.
  • Accurate environmental detection
    Using the detailed 3D maps generated by Lidar, Gobotty AMRs can accurately detect and avoid obstacles and objects in their environment. This enhances workplace safety by preventing collisions and accidents.
  • Real-time navigation
    Lidar enables AMRs to scan and analyze their surroundings in real time. This allows them to quickly respond to changes or unexpected situations, resulting in more efficient and safer operations.
  • Improved efficiency
    Gobotty AMRs can navigate without pre-installed infrastructure and adapt quickly to changes, increasing throughput in warehouses and production environments. This leads to faster and smoother logistics processes.
  • Easy implementation
    Businesses can quickly implement Gobotty AMRs without extensive planning or modifications to existing systems. This simplifies the transition to automation, allowing companies to reap the benefits of AMRs more quickly.

Ready to embrace robotics?
With Lidar technology, Gobotty AMRs offer a flexible and efficient solution for businesses seeking to optimize their logistics processes without heavy infrastructure changes. Their ability to navigate quickly and accurately without physical aids saves time and costs while delivering enhanced safety and efficiency.
