Selectable Autonomy
You can now choose when you want your Mobile Robot to move along the same path repeatedly, similar to the behaviour of an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). Unlike AGV’s, OMRON’s advantage is enabled without any magnetic tape nor physical guides.
- Cycle time improvement up to 15% for actual fleets. Improvement can be greater, depending on application.
- Fewer deadlocks in doorways and narrow spaces.
- Fewer traffic control devices needed in map.
- Improved safety for human operators working in the same area due to more consistent motion of Mobile Robots.

Dynamic Obstacle Tracking
With the dynamic obstacle tracking you can avoid collisions and employ safer passage in the warehouse. It allows for smoother motion around pedestrian traffic, forklifts, or any other moving vehicles. You can track:
- Moving objects motion tracked by the Mobile Robot.
- Collaborative and intuitive motion of the Mobile Robot motion with “pass-behind” decision making.
- Mobile Robots now understands obstacle movement.
- Better decision-making and path planning.
