A Guide to Autonomous Robots

In many industries, automation has already become the natural next step in optimising a company's cost base. Businesses are quickly finding automation as a measure of efficiency, as it is much faster than manual labour - and more accurate. At the heart of this automation is the trend of autonomous robots.

What are Autonomous robots?

Autonomous robots are the intelligent machines that have the ability to perform tasks without any human interference. These robots have the ability to perceive its environment, make their own decisions, and perform an action accordingly, just like humans. An autonomous robot contains various sensors, such as infrared, optical, and thermal to assist it in making decisions. Though autonomous robots are not something new, they have become more accepted as industrial robots because of their capabilities to work on their own.

Commercial Applications of Autonomous Robots

In the past years, we’ve seen a significant increase in automation and robotics. Businesses are now exploring new ways to use artificial intelligence-driven technologies to improve their operations with more accuracy and precision. Organizations are more than ever relying on autonomous robots for a variety of tasks.

Today, several types of autonomous robots are used in supply chain, security, construction, and manufacturing, etc. as these robots demand little in terms of salaries and electricity - and can potentially be a substitute for dozens of employees.

Check out these smart autonomous robots that are using in different commercial sectors to improve the work flow.

Autonomous Mobile Robot for Security - Patrol Robots

Security around a building is difficult to maintain, and managing human guards can be costly. Patrol Robot offers an efficient solution for these issues and are high on demand because of their low installation and maintenance cost. It is designed to conduct various checks such as scanning goods and confirming identity without needing any human intervention. The robot offers significant savings and delivers consistent performance throughout the day without any breaks.

Patrol robots are equipped with excellent night vision technology that helps them detect objects in the dark that human eyes can’t see.  Additionally, you can also configure these robots to undertake tasks that are riskier for humans, such as screening for dangerous goods and working consistently for extended periods without falling asleep. The best part is that they are equipped to perform well under adverse weather conditions.

Autonomous Mobile Robot for Indoor Environment – Porter Guard Delivery Robot

Porter Guard is an autonomous delivery robot designed to serve people with minimal inconvenience and resources. The Porter Guard has the benefit of not requiring human contact during deliveries. It can navigate elevators, and other obstacles often found in most buildings. Moreover, the robot can also be used as a tour guide for building as it directs guests about particular floors and other areas, adding to an improved customer experience. The Porter Guard delivery robot has smart mapping technology that makes it perfect for hospitals, hotels and other commercial facilities.

Autonomous Robot for Disinfection- VirusGuard

Another recent development in autonomous robots that businesses are benefiting from is VirusGuard. It’s programmed with self-learning AI which helps it learn a routine pattern after initial training. The robot has an onboard computer to record its routes and progress, as well as several sensors to help avoid obstacles. The robot is best for routine disinfection that requires high precision and eliminates the need for having a human doing these duties. It’s also equipped with an anti-collision and emergency stop function to provide safety for people and objects in the building.

Autonomous Mobile Robots in Supply Chain

Autonomous Mobile Robots in Supply Chain has been a useful development in the last two decades. They help businesses all over the world and have proved to be one of the most effective investments which can allow companies to save millions of dollars. The robots are designed with human-like functions and can replace humans in handling inventory and managing warehouses.

Autonomous Robots in Construction and Manufacturing

Construction industry robots are advanced machines designed to help with the construction of buildings and other structures. The technology behind them is becoming more advanced, leading to significant improvements in output. The robot's function on a construction site is varied and can range from using precision-controlled tools for carving complex shapes out of stone to welding metal under heat or shaping it into existing pieces - all without human intervention.
