AMRs Insights | Sumble

What is AMRs?

AMRs, or Autonomous Mobile Robots, are robots that can navigate and perform tasks independently without physical guides or pre-programmed paths. They use sensors, cameras, and software to perceive their environment and make decisions about routes and tasks. AMRs are commonly used in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and hospitals to transport materials, automate processes, and improve efficiency.
