💡 How do we minimize mobile robot complexity? "I see localization driving towards complete infrastructure freedom without any requirement to manage that system and maintain good localization over time." Garrett Place from ifm discusses simplifying technology for end users #AMR #AGV #MobileRobots #Autonomy #AI #SLAM

Are simple intuitive systems key? “If it's intuitive enough, flexible enough, the skill requirements are low enough, I'm looking at the industry right now where it's moving, you won't need to have that time anymore.. It must be simple, must be intuitive" Michael Martin from Safelog on the importance of keeping mobile robots simple. ▶ Link to the full recording in the comments. #AMR #AGV #MobileRobots #Autonomy #AI #SLAM

BOM vs efficiency? “There is an inflection point on cost of robot versus the value it provides to the end user. And we can't be on the wrong side of that inflection point...If we're only concentrating on BOM, then we'll overlook the efficiency gain” Garrett Place of ifm discusses the balance between BOM and efficiency gains. ▶ Link to the full recording of our webinar in the comments. #AMR #AGV #MobileRobots #Autonomy #AI #SLAM

Unexpected costs in mobile robot installations? "I always talk about the unexpected pillar. There is a difference between the paper and the reality." Javier Miguélez of The Mobile Robot Directory discussing the unexpected costs of mobile robots impacting profitability. ▶ Link to the full recording of our webinar Beyond the BoM in the comments. #AMR #AGV #MobileRobots #Autonomy #AI #SLAM

Low-cost robot localisation     Together with Opteran Technologies, #SAFELOG is currently working on a new localisation software for its mobile robots that is much more cost-effective than state-of-the-art technologies such as #SLAM or #LiDAR. #Opteran has succeeded in deciphering how the insect brain works and reproducing it in the robot software Opteran Mind 🐝 🤖 . A team of Opteran and SAFELOG employees is currently adapting the software for our mobile robots so that we can launch them in 2025.  🚀 For more information please visit:     https://lnkd.in/dKgKSvGG or join the Opteran webinar on 30/07/2024 presented by Jack Pearson from #Opteran together with Garrett Place from #ifm, Javier Miguélez, co-founder of The Mobile Robot Directory and Michael Martin from SAFELOG GmbH. https://lnkd.in/dpfSBsxY    #mobilerobots #robotics #agv #amr #logistics #software

Register to join our webinar next week, Tuesday 30th July 3pm BST. Joining us on the panel will be The Mobile Robot Directory co-founder Javier Miguélez, Garrett Place at ifm and Michael Martin from Safelog. We'll be exploring the challenges facing mobile robots and how considering TCO can unlock profitable automation in dynamic warehouse environments.

Together with Safelog, we are implementing a new generation of neuromorphic general-purpose autonomy that outperforms existing systems like LiDAR or Visual SLAM in robustness, efficiency, and flexibility. The Opteran Mind combines the affordability of AGVs with the flexibility of AMRs, creating robust, low-cost autonomy for mobile robots. "Instead of collecting more and more data, the solution generates almost no data at all. And absolutely basic technologies are enough to operate the system stably. That's impressive." Mathias Behounek, Managing Director, Safelog #AMR #AGV #MobileRobots #Autonomy #AI #LiDAR #SLAM #Neuromorphic

In the race for efficiency, mobile robots have advanced to better navigate their environments, but this evolution has brought complexity, cost, and layers of tech. Ultimately, end users care about practicalities rather than the underlying technology. In our latest blog we explore the complex challenges facing mobile robots today. #Robotics #Automation #AMR #AGV #MobileRobots #SLAM #AI #Neuromorphic

With over 4 million mobile robots predicted to be in operation by 2025, robust warehouse autonomy matters more than ever. When AI and SLAM systems fail with real-world variability, it has a critical impact on profitability. Join Opteran's Jack Pearson Tuesday 30th July alongside Garrett Place from ifm, Michael Martin at Safelog and The Mobile Robot Directory co-founder Javier Miguélez. Our Panel will explore how considering total cost of ownership can unlock profitable automation in dynamic warehouse environments.
