Mobile robot shipments are expected to climb from 251,000 units in 2023 to 1.6 million by 2028, with revenue forecast to jump from $12.6 billion to $64.5 billion in the period. Despite the explosive adoption of robots, the intralogistics industry faces challenges. Traditionally, software applications for autonomous navigation are often coded from scratch for each robot, making rolling out autonomy across different robots complex. Also, warehouses, factories and fulfillment centers are enormous, frequently running a million square feet or more, making them hard to map for robots and keep updated.

Given the current landscape, integrating autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) into existing workflows, fleet management and warehouse management systems can be complicated. This talk will present how these challenges can be overcome across mapping, development, and simulation for validation, deployment, optimization and fleet management, while reducing costs and time to market for deploying the next generation of AMRs.
