Flexiv, a global provider in general-purpose robotics, announced the launch of the Flexiv Mobile Robot (FMR) 300, the company’s first self-developed autonomous mobile robot (AMR) platform.

Engineered to expand the operating space of Flexiv’s adaptive robots and eliminate the limitations of stationary workspaces, the company stated that the FMR 300 represents a major milestone in mobile manipulation and next-generation factory automation.

Featuring a compact footprint of 31 x 24 inches and a height of 34 inches, along with a payload capacity of 600 pounds, Flexiv said the FMR 300 enables customers to deploy advanced adaptive robotic technologies in space-constrained environments.

“The FMR 300 was built in response to the needs of our customers. They needed an AMR that could fit in narrow walkways, was easy to program, and gave them the flexibility to automate more with our industry-leading force sensing technology,” said Zhennan Xu, senior product manager at Flexiv. “The FMR 300 gives customers the freedom to move their Flexiv robots anywhere in their facility and to do so with accuracy, safety and confidence. This means that instead of one robot per workstation, customers can now deploy one robot and one FMR 300 across up multiple workstations.”

Powered by a 72 Ah lithium-ion battery, Flexiv said the FMR 300 can operate for up to eight hours under typical workloads. If the platform detects that its battery needs recharging, it can autonomously navigate to its charging dock, enabling true “lights-out” operational capability.

When used in conjunction with a Rizon-series adaptive robot, Flexiv said the positional errors caused by platform movement or workpiece misalignment can be compensated for. The company said its Rizon robot can use its force sensitivity to “feel out” the exact location of the workpiece.

Flexiv added that this feature eliminates the need for computer vision and controlled lighting, enabling reliable operation in dynamic, unstructured environments where conventional AMR–cobot offerings typically fail.

The company said it designed the FMR 300 for unmatched safety, with features such as high-precision laser SLAM navigation, two-wheel differential motion control, and built-in collision detection to ensure safe human-robot interaction. If necessary, the platform can also incorporate computer vision for enhanced collision avoidance in crowded or highly dynamic workplaces.

Flexiv said FMRs are ideally suited for laboratory automation, CNC machine loading and unloading, and mobile grinding and polishing stations. The company said the FMR 300 is a powerful and versatile platform for industries seeking higher flexibility, lower operational costs and rapid deployment of mobile robotic technologies.

In conjunction with the FMR news, Flexiv also announced its presence at the 2025 International Robot Exhibition (iREX), held at Tokyo’s Big Sight from December 3-6. Flexiv is hosting demonstrations at iREX of the company’s adaptive robots.
