Mechanical and safety aspects of designing Autonomous mobile robot AMR for industrial applications

Abstract

Mobile robots are a response to the growing market demand for the automation of in-house logistics in order to achieve significant savings in personnel costs and higher efficiency in the area of intralogistics.

This article presents the design issues of the AMR autonomous forklift, with particular emphasis on mechanical and safety aspects. The process of selecting the chassis geometry and its impact on the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle and the design of safety zones are discussed.
