Integrating AI with fleet management software improves mobile robot collaboration - The Robot Report

Manufacturers today are recognizing the significant benefits that autonomous mobile robots can offer. Conventional logistics solutions like forklifts and conveyor belts -- as well as traditional automated guided vehicles -- haven't allowed this level of flexibility or adaptability. Manufacturers and logistics companies trying to accommodate ever-changing customer demands will have difficulty if they rely solely on autonomous guided vehicles and other systems. As a result, manufacturers satisfied with one mobile robot have started to implement multiple AMRs in hopes of expanding them to internal logistics applications they hadn't realized could benefit from their use. To facilitate the process, they are using fleet management software, which offers centralized control of the robots from a single station.
