Robot mobility is booming worldwide. Experts believe that sales of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) in the logistics sector will increase annually by 31% between 2020 and 2023. So will the use of AMR in public environments with an increase of 40% per year worldwide.
“Mobile robots have traditionally operated in industrial settings to transport parts around the factory or power machines,” says Milton Guerry, president of the International Federation of Robotics.
“Mobile robotics is a dynamic field of development and we expect exciting developments over the next decade,” says Milton Guerry. “These advances will occur in both hardware and software. Mobile robots will become lighter and more flexible. Both AMRs and service robots will be able to navigate a variety of indoor and outdoor environments with greater ease as advances in sensors and software algorithms become increasingly accurate.”
Today, ‘autonomous mobile robots’ are showing double-digit growth. AMRs autonomously navigate and perform functions in the industrial and service sectors and pave the way for the adoption of mobile robots worldwide.
