Managing and Optimizing Fleets of Mobile Robots (Video)

This Robotics 24/7 Roundtable podcast will examine how software and AI are making it easier to deploy and supervise supply chain automation.

E-commerce retailers, logistics providers, and other industries are aware of the potential benefits from automation, but most warehouses are just beginning to add robots.

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can relieve human workers from having to walk or push carts miles every day. They can also provide traceability and allow for the optimization of materials handling.

In this roundtable our expert panelists will discuss how better management of robot fleets can benefit end users and accelerate adoption. They will also examine the following considerations for mobile robots:

• The role of open-source software in developing and using mobile robots
• How to improve ease of use for workers on the factory or warehouse floor
• The types of data that managers need for efficiency and throughput
• The need to coordinate processes, robots, and people
• Robotics as a service (RaaS) and mobile robot fleets
• The need for interoperability among systems from multiple vendors and current standards efforts
