Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics
The next generation of transport robots
From concept to prototype implementation - Fraunhofer IML researchers are creating a new generation of autonomous mobile robot systems (AMR).
Different areas of application
The evoBOT is characterised by its high agility and flexibility. As a modular system, the application areas of this collaborative robot even extend beyond the classic logistics context into the complex urban space. While existing solutions are limited to performing simple operations such as pushing and pulling logistical goods, the evoBOT goes one step further. In the future, this prototype will be able to combine and upgrade these skills. These additions include handing things over as well as turning things around. Another special quality of the robot is its bio-inspired design, which lowers the inhibition threshold of interaction between humans and robots. All these aspects make the evoBOT a personal assistant for humans.
