Let's talk AMRs and AGVsAutonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) can navigate freely throughout their environment, while avoiding live obstacles that may enter their path. Many AMRs use Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to continuously create live maps of their environment. AMR’s can safely collaborate with humans and use vision to detect people or equipment that cross into the path. In the event of path obstruction, the AMR will stop or navigate a new path around the obstruction.
Docking is the process of loading materials on and off AMRs/AVGs. Methods of docking are dependent on the needs and types of materials.
Interface between robots and conveyors and other stations is controlled by PLCs or the local Warehouse Control System (WCS). Transport carts allow material to be moved between zones without excess handling. Conveyor docks allow sorting and mobility between systems. Pallet docking stations allow movement of pallets between stations, eliminating the need for an intermediary forklift. Charging docks allow AMRs and AVGs to charge on the go as needed instead of decommissioning for extended periods of time.
