Turkish mobile robotics platform producer MND Robotics has launched an upgraded version of its FORX autonomous forklift robot. 

The robot uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to ensure safe and efficient movement through 360-degree scanning with LIDAR, camera and ultrasonic sensors. 

A reinforced chassis and hydraulic system provides a lifting capacity of 1,000 kg.

FORX is powered by a lithium-ion battery which provides up to eight hours of operation on a full charge, and with no external components and the automatic battery change, is capable of continuous 24/7 operation.

The safety features include collision prevention, emergency stopping, two LIDAR sensors and two cameras, an audible warning system, LED direction lights and a safety light.

MND states the machine can be “adapted to a wide range of industrial requirements by adding various attachments and accessories”. 

The autonomous forklift has been designed to integrate seamlessly with IoT and industrial automation systems and has remote access capabilities.
