Omron releases new AMR

California-based Omron Robotics and Safety Technologies has released its new OL-450S, low-profile, omni-directional autonomous mobile robot (AMR) with a payload capacity of 450kg.

The OL-450S has an integrated lifting plate which Omron says eliminates the need for customisation or toppers and providing a plug-and-play solution compatible with standard and custom racks.

The AMR is equipped with strategically positioned sensors, 360-degree safety coverage and omni-directional drive allowing it to navigate complex layouts, avoiding obstacles and ensuring safe operation.

It also features flexible movement including forward, reverse, and lateral.
