Autonomous mobile robot with collaborative robotic arm combining goods-to-person transport and precision manipulation for multi-station warehouse operations
A mobile manipulation robot (also called mobile cobot or compound robot) integrates an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) base with a collaborative robotic arm. This combination enables a single platform to autonomously navigate through warehouse environments and perform dexterous manipulation tasks — picking, placing, assembling, and inspecting — without human intervention.
The AMR base uses LiDAR SLAM and visual SLAM fusion for dynamic obstacle avoidance and real-time path planning, transporting the robot between workstations at speeds up to 2.0 m/s. Once docked at a station with ±1-10mm positioning accuracy, the 6-axis cobot arm takes over, executing precision tasks with repeatability as fine as ±0.05mm. This mobility-plus-dexterity approach eliminates the limitation of traditional AMRs (transport only) and fixed cobots (single-station only).
Provides autonomous navigation, load-bearing capacity (100-300kg), and mobility across warehouse floors. Equipped with LiDAR, 3D cameras, and bumper sensors for safe operation in dynamic environments.
A 6-axis cobot arm with 5-20kg payload and 850-1,300mm reach, featuring built-in force/torque sensors and ISO-certified safety for fenceless human-robot collaboration.
2D/3D vision systems enable object recognition, bin picking, barcode scanning, and quality inspection. AI-driven perception handles varied object shapes, sizes, and positions.
2D/3D vision system identifies, locates, and grasps objects of varying shapes and sizes from bins, shelves, and conveyors. AI-powered perception handles unstructured environments with real-time pose estimation.
Dual-arm configurations enable bimanual operations such as holding-and-assembling, two-hand carrying, and coordinated manipulation for complex tasks that require synchronized movement of both arms.
Force/torque sensors on every joint, 360° LiDAR scanning, 3D depth cameras, and speed-limiting zones enable fenceless collaborative operation. Certified to ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066 standards.
A single mobile manipulation robot serves 3-5+ workstations autonomously, navigating between them on demand. The AMR base handles transit while the cobot arm performs tasks at each station.
Cloud-based fleet management handles real-time task allocation, route optimization, battery management, and predictive maintenance. Multiple robots coordinate via centralized dispatch with conflict resolution.
Quick-change tooling system supports parallel grippers, 3-finger adaptive grippers, vacuum suction, soft grippers, and custom tooling. Tool changes complete in under 30 seconds for rapid task switching.
Native connectivity via REST APIs, Modbus TCP, and OPC-UA protocols. Compatible with SAP, Oracle, and custom warehouse management systems for end-to-end order-to-fulfillment automation.
Automatic battery management with opportunity charging enables continuous multi-shift operation. Robots self-route to charging stations during idle periods, achieving 99.5%+ task completion accuracy.
Mobile manipulation robots deploy within existing warehouse infrastructure through a layered system architecture. Each layer handles a specific function, from low-level motion control to high-level business logic, ensuring seamless coordination between robots, warehouse systems, and human operators.
Central fleet orchestration server receives task orders from WMS/WCS, assigns them to available robots based on location and battery level, optimizes multi-robot traffic, and monitors real-time status. Supports management of 50+ robots in a single facility.
Onboard LiDAR SLAM engine builds and maintains facility maps, computes optimal paths with dynamic obstacle avoidance, and executes precision docking at workstations. Visual SLAM provides complementary localization in GPS-denied indoor environments.
Arm motion planner generates collision-free trajectories for pick, place, and assembly operations. Vision pipeline performs object detection, 6D pose estimation, and grasp planning. Force control enables compliant insertion and delicate object handling.
RESTful APIs and OPC-UA bridges connect the robot fleet to SAP, Oracle, or custom WMS/MES/ERP systems. Order data flows from enterprise systems to robot tasks; completion data and KPIs flow back for real-time visibility.
Navigate autonomously to pick zones, use vision-guided arm to retrieve items from bins, shelves, or flow racks, and transport them to packing stations or put-wall locations. Handles mixed-SKU order fulfillment with real-time inventory scanning and verification.
Mobile cobot transports parts between production stations, pauses at inspection points to perform visual quality checks using integrated 2D/3D cameras. Detects surface defects, verifies dimensions, and flags non-conforming parts while continuing material flow.
Perform multi-step assembly tasks across different workstations — screwdriving, part insertion, snap-fitting, and adhesive dispensing. Force-controlled arm handles precision insertion with compliance, while mobility allows the same robot to assemble different products at different stations.
Navigate between lab benches, fume hoods, and analytical instruments. The cobot arm handles pipetting, sample loading into centrifuges/spectrometers, plate handling, and reagent dispensing. Enables 24/7 unattended lab operations with traceable sample tracking.
Automate CNC machine loading and unloading across multiple machines. The mobile cobot picks raw blanks from a staging area, loads them into CNC chucks, retrieves finished parts, and places them in inspection or packaging queues — serving 3-8 machines per robot.
Handle case packing, layer building, and full pallet wrapping across multiple packing lines. Vision system verifies case orientation and label placement. Mobility enables the robot to serve different palletizing stations as production schedules change.

A mobile manipulation robot integrates an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) base with a collaborative robotic arm mounted on top. Unlike standard AMRs that only transport materials, mobile manipulation robots can autonomously navigate to a workstation and then use the robotic arm to pick, place, assemble, or inspect objects — combining mobility with dexterity in a single platform.
Our mobile manipulation robots feature a 6-axis collaborative arm with 5-20kg payload capacity and 850-1,300mm reach, mounted on an AMR base supporting 100-300kg. The arm achieves ±0.05-0.1mm repeatability for precision tasks, while the base provides ±1-10mm docking accuracy at workstations. Maximum travel speed is 1.5-2.0 m/s with 4-8 hours of continuous operation.
The robot integrates with WMS, WCS, and MES systems via REST APIs, Modbus TCP, and OPC-UA protocols. The fleet management platform provides real-time task orchestration, route optimization, and battery management. Deployment includes facility mapping, system integration, arm calibration, and operator training — typically completed in 3-6 weeks.
Mobile cobots are certified to ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066 for collaborative operation. Safety features include 360° LiDAR scanning, 3D depth cameras, 6-axis force/torque sensors in each joint, mechanical bumpers, and speed-limiting zones. The robot automatically reduces speed or stops when humans are detected within proximity, enabling safe shared-workspace operation without physical safety fencing.
Mobile manipulation robots support hot-swappable end-effectors including parallel grippers, 3-finger adaptive grippers, vacuum suction cups, soft grippers for delicate items, and custom tooling for specialized tasks. Vision systems with 2D/3D cameras enable bin picking, barcode scanning, and quality inspection. Tool changes can be performed in under 30 seconds for rapid task switching.
Deployment follows a structured process: (1) Site survey and workflow analysis in week 1, (2) Facility mapping and network setup in week 2, (3) System integration with WMS/MES and arm calibration in weeks 3-4, (4) End-effector configuration and task programming in week 4-5, (5) Pilot testing with 2-4 robots and operator training in weeks 5-6. Full-scale fleet rollout follows successful pilot validation.
