AUTOMATICALLY GUIDED VEHICLES - AGV
Automatically Guided Vehicles (AGV) have been a key player in warehouse automation for years.
However, the arrival of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) has revolutionized this field, offering more intelligent, adaptable and safer solutions.
Discover here the advantages of AMRs over AGV robots and how they operate in warehouses and logistics environments.
The objective of AGV and AMR industrial robots is common: to offer automation solutions.
These are the advantages of Mobile Robots compared to traditional AGV robots:
FREE NAVIGATION
AGV: They follow predefined routes and require specific infrastructure such as magnetic tapes or cables.
AMR: They have free navigation using lasers, advanced sensors and dynamic maps to navigate autonomously, adapting to changes in the environment without the need for fixed infrastructure.
AUTONOMY AND ADAPTABILITY
AGV: Limited to make decisions in real time.
AMR: Ability to make immediate decisions, optimizing routes and avoiding obstacles efficiently.
IMPLEMENTATION AND SCALABILITY
AGV: Require time and higher costs for installation and route modification.
AMR: Easy to deploy and adapt to the changing needs of the warehouse or demand, fitting both in tasks and in the number of robot units.

AMR MATERIAL HANDLING
Autonomous Mobile Handling Robot in a lighting factory
A company is in need of an autonomous mobile robot that can efficiently handle materials with a robotic arm while benefiting from the features of an AMR vehicle, allowing it to navigate between various locations.
Given the large size of the manufacturing plant and the warehouse being situated at a distance from the production line, there is a need to streamline material transportation to prevent operators from wasting time on constant back and forth trips.
To address this issue, the RB-KAIROS+ mobile manipulator has been integrated into their operations.
Whether it's heavy loads or small parts and components, the RB-KAIROS+ proves to be the perfect solution, offering the required mobility and the capability to handle small parts by incorporating an end tool into the robotic arm.
AMR FOR SURVEILLANCE

Innovative autonomous mobile robotics technology revolutionizes traditional surveillance methods in the private security industry, enhancing operational efficiency while slashing costs. In this case study a leading security company deploys the RB-WATCHER, the AMR for surveillance, in a distribution center of a logistics company.The RB-WATCHER is tasked with a comprehensive suite of surveillance activities to bolster the security measures of the facility:
- Autonomous patrolling of the predefined area following a planned schedule
- Real-time monitoring of cameras and sensors
- Remote operation
- Fire detection
- Real-time alarm transmission
- Subsequent collection and analysis of collected data
- Real-time incident communication
AMR FOR MANUFACTURING
Autonomous mobile robotics streamlines production line feeding
Due to the complex logistics of this connectivity systems manufacturer, along with the implementation of just-in-time manufacturing methodologies, operators frequently face shortages of necessary components. This results in the need to retrieve materials from the warehouse, consuming a significant amount of time and energy. Such tasks can be unproductive and monotonous for employees.
The warehouse is about 200 meters from production and each time an operator goes to collect the missing items, it takes around 7 minutes, leading to numerous hours lost annually.
The suggested robot, RB-VOGUI, has a 150 kg load capacity and features omnidirectional movement, enabling it to maneuver effectively in confined spaces. RB-VOGUI is an Autonomous Mobile Robot specifically designed to carry out logistics tasks both indoors and primarily outdoors.
