Autonomous Systems

Autonomous systems are machines that perceive their surroundings with sensors, make decisions and act on them. Inside the factory, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) carry material, detect obstacles with cameras and lidar and receive their tasks from a central planner; combined with fixed robot cells, they make the material flow between machines unmanned.

Autonomy is not limited to mobile robots: on the lines we build, the camera recognizes the product, the software makes the decision and the robot does the work. Our cell that recognizes mixed products on a conveyor with 3D vision and stacks them at their own stations, and our palletizing line that shares barcode-identified products among three robots, are field examples of this approach.
