5 ways autonomous mobile robots are transforming warehouses

Autonomous mobile robots are essentially robots that can move and operate within a warehouse environment without direct supervision from a human operator. Rather than rely on magnetic strips or tracks, AMRs use sensors and maps to interpret the environment, navigate through the warehouse floor and detect/avoid obstacles.

AMRs can perform several warehouse and order fulfillment functions, including executing pick strategies, transporting goods and materials and guiding/helping associates as they perform their tasks. Let’s discuss a few of the ways autonomous mobile robots can help transform warehouse operations.
