DownloadWhat are Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)?
AMR stands for autonomous mobile robot. These agile mobile robots are equipped with sophisticated cameras, radars and sensors, and are guided by artificial intelligence algorithms to navigate the ideal route, using the natural features of the facility or building. Autonomous mobile robots from OMRON are easy to get up and running, requiring no construction, no installation of magnets and minimal programming.
What are AMR's used for?
AMRs can also be used as service robots, for deliveries or in customer service tasks.
You might even hear them say ‘Excuse me, could I pass here’ as they can be programmed to use sounds or voice messages to alert people in their environment.
Many users name their robots and see them as part of the team, working safely together with humans and relieving them from manually moving heavy goods around and walking for miles during each shift.
The top 5 applications for AMRs in manufacturing logistics are:
- Line-side delivery
- Pick-up and delivery of work-in-progress and final products
- Order picking
- Moving pallets to and from the warehouse
- Removal of waste
What is AMR vs. AGV?
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) on the other hand navigate freely using the natural features of the facilities. AMRs can also bring value in long distance applications if multiple input and output locations are needed, an especially if it’s important to make changes during transportation, for example call the mobile robot to carry out an urgent task. In short, AMRs are the ideal solution for last-meters delivery where flexibility is needed.
Difference between AMR and AGV
Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR)
- Navigate freely
- Select the ideal route for the task
- Prioritize urgent tasks
- Flexible operation within a fleet
- Operate like a taxi
Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV)
- Move on fixed routes and schedules
- Use tracks for guidance
- Part of a fixed fleet
- Operate like a train
Benefits of an Autonomous Mobile Robot
Autonomous mobile robots are ideal colleagues in your warehouse automation and optimizing intralogistics on the factory floor. Here are some of the benefits they bring.
AMRs improve safety
Free up the employees to focus on more creative tasks
AMRs improve productivity and efficiency
AMRs improve quality
Mobile Robots Intralogistics and Warehouse Automation
If material flow is not optimized, this will result in process downtime. Manufacturers also need agile solutions to scale production up and down to meet changing demand. By investing in warehouse automation automated processes with autonomous mobile robots you can ensure that materials and goods are stored and transferred correctly, simplify employee tasks, optimize workflows, improve productivity and increase capacity.
LD-series
Self-navigating Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) that works safely with people

Articles & Customer cases
Autonomous mobile robots simplify intralogistics at Diva International
Large companies are increasingly turning to robotics to streamline manual processes in factories and warehouses. One example is Diva International, based in Umbria, Italy. Diva wanted to transform its system for transporting wet wipes from its production facility to a palletising island in the same warehouse. Through its facilities management provider, FM Vision, it developed a new, automated system using five OMRON autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and OMRON’s Sysmac NJ machine controller. This has led to a safer, more efficient and more flexible process.
