The importance and future of AMR Robots

Arie Verhoeven 9 January 2024

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are a transformative technology reshaping industries and changing how we view automation. These self-navigating marvels utilize advanced sensors and algorithms to navigate environments without the need for human intervention.

What Are AMR Robots?

Autonomous Mobile Robots, or AMRs, are a class of robots designed for mobility. They can move through their environment without being restricted to a fixed path or location. This is a significant departure from traditional Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), which require predefined work paths.

The primary function of AMRs is to transport materials from one location to another. This can range from small items, such as components on a production line, to larger loads like pallets in a warehouse. Some AMRs are equipped with advanced features such as robotic arms or specialized tools, enabling them to pick up or inspect items.

Key Components of AMRs

The main components of an AMR include the mobility platform, sensors, control systems, and power supply.

  • The mobility platform, often wheel-based, allows the robot to move.
  • The sensors provide the robot with information about its surroundings.
  • The control system processes this sensor data and sends commands to the robot’s motors to regulate its movement.
  • The power supply provides the energy the robot needs to function.

While AGVs have been used in industries for many years, AMRs represent a significant advancement. The global market for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) is expected to reach $18.9 billion by 2032. AMRs use advanced sensor arrays and algorithms to understand their environment and determine their movements, making them flexible and adaptable in various settings.
