What is an autonomous robot? Comprehensive analysis and application scenarios
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are intelligent robots that can move and perform tasks autonomously in multiple environments. Their emergence marks a major advancement in robotics technology and is widely used in logistics, manufacturing, medical and other fields.
Basic principles of autonomous mobile robots:
The core of AMR lies in its ability to navigate autonomously. By using devices such as sensors, cameras and lidar, AMR can perceive the surrounding environment. These sensors can help robots map, identify obstacles, and plan the best path. Different from traditional automatic guided vehicles
(AGVs). AMRs do not need to rely on fixed tracks for form, can flexibly avoid obstacles, and use dynamically changing environments.
Fields of AMR application:
- Logistics warehousing:
In the logistics industry, AMRs are used for automated item handling and inventory management. They can autonomously select the best path to transport goods from one location to another, improving the efficiency of warehouse operations and reducing manpower requirements.
- Manufacturing:
In the manufacturing environment, AMRs are used for automated transportation of materials. They can quickly respond to production needs, optimize the flow of materials, and reduce downtime.
- Medical industry:
AMRs are used in hospitals to transport medicines, medical machinery, and samples. They can autonomously navigate hospital corridors, reduce unnecessary workloads for medical staff, and allow them to focus on patient care.
Technical features:
Intelligent decision-making:
AMRs have SINSMART TECH's SIN-3120-A78AE embedded industrial computer with 100tops computing power, which can perform path optimization and task scheduling. With the support of AI technology, robots can learn and adapt to new environmental changes and improve their autonomous decision-making capabilities.
Real-time communication:
Autonomous mobile robots can communicate with other systems and devices in real time. This capability enables them to work together to achieve more complex tasks, such as robot handling.
Future development trends:
With the development of AI technology, the application field of AMR will be further expanded, and autonomous mobile robots may appear in public places, such as large supermarkets, airports, etc., to provide intelligent guidance and handling services. These advancements will be supported by robust computing solutions like rugged rackmount computers and panel PC 17 displays for enhanced monitoring and control. For environments requiring higher processing power, industrial PCs with GPU can offer significant advantages.
Finally, with the development of 5G technology, AMRs will achieve faster communication speeds and lower latency, further improving work efficiency and collaboration capabilities. Compact options such as mini rugged PCs and space-saving 1U rack PCs will be essential for integrating these systems into various settings. For cost-effective solutions, checking Advantech industrial PC prices can be beneficial, while mobile setups can benefit from industrial portable computers.
