The Sherpa Lifter AMR from Ati Motors, along with the Sherpa XT Lite, will be on display at ProMat 2025 in Chicago.
Ati Motors, a global provider of AI and autonomous robotics, will exhibit its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) at ProMat 2025, taking place March 17-20, 2025 in Chicago’s McCormick Place.
Show attendees are invited to booth S3380 to witness the capabilities of the Sherpa Lifter and Sherpa XT Lite, two ATI offerings that the company said are designed to streamline warehouse operations and enhance productivity.
Sherpa Lifter is an advanced AMR engineered to transport pallets, trolleys, racks and magazines. Its customizable design makes it compatible with tunneling, lifting and roller top applications. ATI Motors said the Sherpa Lifter is the world’s first lifter with a dual 3D lidar-based natural navigation system, ensuring precise movement and obstacle avoidance.
The Sherpa Lifter measures 1200 x 800 x 275 mm, weighs approximately 350 kg and can reach a maximum speed of 1.5 m/s. It boasts a lifting capacity of 1,000 kg and a lifting stroke of 100 mm. The bi-directional travel capability enables efficient movement in tight spaces, while the long-lasting 48V NMC Lithium-Ion battery provides a 9-hour run time with a 2-hour charging time.
Also on display at ProMat will be the Sherpa XT Lite, an autonomous electric tug designed to move trolley payloads up to 1,400 kg. ATI Motors said this versatile AMR integrates with existing workflows. The Sherpa XT Lite features auto-unhitch functionality and obstacle avoidance, ensuring smooth operations in various environments.
With a maximum speed of 1.5 m/s, 100mm ground clearance, and a size of 1395 x 640 x 1096 mm, the Sherpa XT Lite offers efficient performance in both indoor and outdoor settings. Its swappable 48V NMC Lithium-Ion battery provides an 8-hour run time, allowing for extended operation across multiple shifts. The Sherpa XT Lite can operate on inclines and handle twilight and dark mode operations.
Both the Sherpa Lifter and Sherpa XT Lite offer features that the company said set them apart in the material handling sector. They are Industry 4.0 ready, integrating with WMS and Factory MIS systems. The natural navigation capability eliminates the need for infrastructure changes during implementation. These AMRs can operate in various light conditions, including twilight and dark environments because of their adaptive lighting systems. ATI implements continuous software improvements through over-the-air (OTA) updates to keep its robots at peak performance.
ATI Motors' Fleet Manager provides comprehensive control and optimization for both AMRs. This system offers fleet traffic management, analytics, scheduling and diagnostics, enabling efficient coordination of multiple robots in complex warehouse environments.
