Material Handler Robot!
Filed in archive Products by ehsan on April 25, 2008
A new company called Seegrid announced a new line of what it calls "Industrial Mobile Robots," which are really a new form of AGV that may find a real place in distribution. What makes the technology different is a new approach to movement control. The machines use vision technology to learn their routes, so no wires on the floor or laser guided system is needed. This makes them very flexible to changing requirements, and we are told the Seegrid robots can learn their routes in just hours or even faster. The machines sell for well less than standard AGVs, and implementation and/or piloting can be done on the cheap due to the ease of "training" on the routes. Definitely worth a look.
