Mobile robots: How can the potential be tapped? | Impulse the ifm show

The boom (or even hype?) that mobile robots are currently experiencing is huge. However, it appears that they are not yet able to fully realise their potential in intralogistics and other areas. What are the root causes? Do we need to rethink the situation? And how can automation technology help ensure that entire fleets of mobile robots will meet the industry’s expectations, both today and in the future? Experts from the Fraunhofer IML, SAFELOG and ifm provide and discuss answers to these and other questions in this issue. Topics of this edition: 00:00 Overview: expectations = reality? How automation technology can help to maximise the potential of mobile robots. 03:45 Insight: How ifm’s model of four layers helps to support OEMs with both specific requirements and the development of holistic solutions. 11:46 Application: Knapp relies on the O3R robotics platform from ifm for obstacle detection and pallet detection in its latest AGVs. 14:47 Expert talk: Are expectations of mobile robots (still) too high today? What needs to change so that mobile robots can be used as useful support in logistics? And do we really need autonomous mobile robots? Guests: Mathias Behounek, Thomas Albrecht and Mohamed Hassoun.
