The Future of Autonomous Mobile Robots

There will be some universal language in which I think things communicate and it'll simplify. Safety should be the top priority to prevent accidents for protecting people and infrastructure assets that surround them. AMR should be able to operate within a larger network of heterogeneous robot fleets, machinery, and IoT devices. It should be designed to be accessible by anyone, regardless of their technical and physical abilities.

Episode notes

Mateusz Sadowski, Robotics and Drone Consultant at M.Sadowski Consulting, and Mike Oitzman, Founder of Mobile Robot Guide, join Jeff Dance to discuss the potential of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) to replace dangerous and monotonous jobs that don't fit with humans.

They also dive into the exponential growth of AMRs in the market due to cost reduction and robotics as a service model, fleets of robots being the next step on the evolutionary curve for mobile robot companies, and their vision of the future of autonomous mobile robots ten to twenty years from now.

They Cover:

[00:07:34] AMRs can make their own decisions, plan where they're going, and find a different way without having to call an operator to come to recover them from some situation.
[00:11:54] AMRs see exponential growth due to the pandemic that made companies invest heavily in automating some jobs and the cost reduction of these robots.
[00:15:04] The three biggest segments of the Autonomous Mobile Robotics (AMR) industry are logistics, warehouse-specific applications, and agricultural robotics. Thanks to AMRs, e-commerce has grown significantly, along with other industries such as grocery and construction.
[00:32:52] Fleets of robots represent the next steps on the evolutionary curve for any mobile robot company, including for various purposes such as inventory management, floor scrubbing, and security in retail stores.
[00:38:13] Communication with humans is a problem to keep working on as we envision the future using different AI models that can try to interpret our behavior and make sure things are safe is an important aspect of integrating robots with us as humans as we think about the future of work.
