FAQ: What Are Autonomous Mobile Robots?

Oct. 21, 2020
Autonomous mobile robots are changing the way we work. Learn the ins and outs of AMRs -- from the way they are controlled and powered, to their range of capability, to what makes them autonomous, and how they can benefit us.

Will robots really take over the world, as some have predicted? Probably not. But research work continues, and the applications for robotics are on the rise. Robots are proving to be an enormous benefit to humans, especially in industry. One of the most useful is the autonomous mobile robot (AMR). In this FAQ, we will address some critical questions engineers are asking about AMRs.
