Advanced AI, vision systems, motion control, and other components are enabling more capable robotics systems that combine manipulation with movement and intelligence. All this technology gives robots the ability to accomplish more tasks than ever as mobile manipulators.
Mobile manipulators combine automated mobile robots with robot manipulators and AI for an intelligent mobile solution that can solve complex tasks in a variety of environments. AI is the element that elevates a mobile manipulator from a remote-controlled arm on wheels to a valued worker that can move and act with purpose.
“It’s an exciting period for AI-powered robotics, as AMRs dominate current deployments, while mobile manipulators are a rapidly expanding category,” says Erik Nieves, CEO, Plus One Robotics.
