First came the realization that a robotic system’s software—more so than its hardware—make these systems have an impact on materials handling. Software is what is constantly calculating the optimal routes for a fleet of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to take, and it’s what gives robotic piece-picking arms the smarts to know how to grasp and place items. Behind every good…
