At the time of the "first year" of the composite robot landing, what new changes have AMR made?
MiR1350 AMR
In 1959, the first industrial robot was born in the United States. So far, the application of robots has been extended to many industries, and the original industrial robots have also become a huge family, with welding robots, palletizing robots, assembly robots, spraying robots, handling robots and many other types.
With the continuous expansion of application fields, more intelligent and flexible robots have gradually become a rigid demand in the industry. The transfer of traditional AGVs (autonomous guided vehicles) to AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) is in line with this general trend. With the advantages of autonomous navigation and high flexibility, AMR breaks through the traditional AGV's dependence on external infrastructure such as magnetic strips, guide rails, and QR codes, providing higher efficiency and being suitable for a wider range of scenarios. In 2021, AMR will also usher in new changes. In the "first year" of the landing of composite robots, in addition to its own innovation, AMR has also begun to embrace the general trend of composite robots. On December 7, the world’s leading manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots, Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), held a new product launch and technology sharing meeting. Through this event, we not only saw the future development trend of AMR, but also in terms of composite robots. It can be seen that the combination of AMR and collaborative robots creates a more efficient and intelligent robot application. In terms of AMR's own innovation, heavier load capacity is a clearer trend. This new product MiR1350 AMR is undoubtedly designed for handling large volumes of materials. The maximum load of this AMR reaches 1350kg. It is also a big guy in terms of body size. It has a top platform of 1350 mm x 910 mm, which has been launched by MiR so far. The most powerful AMR can maximize the efficiency of logistics operations. In terms of other characteristic parameters, MiR1350 has a maximum speed of 1.2 m/s and can run for 15 hours.

It is built in accordance with the current highest safety standard ISO3691-4, and can be applied to more environments. In practical applications, although MiR1350 transports a large amount of materials, according to the MiR spokesperson, it does not require any operators. With the help of MiR's specially designed pallet elevator, MiR1350 can automatically pick up, transport and deliver pallets. The release of MiR250 Hook allows AMR to show the advantage of "small size, big energy". According to MiR engineers, the way of submerged lifting is limited by the short torque inside the robot, so it needs a big body to carry a large load, and the new traction product MiR250 Hook with MiR250 AMR can easily achieve a load of up to 500 kg. , Is one of the few AMR solutions on the market that can independently hook up and release carts.

Søren E. Nielsen, President of MiR Autonomous Mobile Robots, said: “Many companies, logistics centers, and hospitals are using different carts and transport racks. This solution makes it easy to automate the internal transport of these transport vehicles, and easy Management, economical and affordable. Users do not need to modify the layout or buy a new cart, because MiRHook can find and connect almost all types of carts through the QR code or AprilTag." At the press conference, the journalists of the e-enthusiast network also watched Coming to the composite robot based on MiR250 and UR (MiR's brother company) manipulator arms, this composite robot can be more flexibly used in scenarios such as packaging and palletizing, quality inspection, picking and placing, dispensing and laboratory analysis. In the live display, the compound robot MiR250+UR robot arm can transfer the wafer cassette for wafer manufacturing in the semiconductor industry from the robot to the designated position, and can support wafer sizes from 4 inches to 12 inches, up to Transfer three boxes at the same time.

Judging from the current status of the industry, AMR+ collaborative robots are a more recognized form of composite robots in the industry. This is great news for the follow-up development of MiR. At present, the Sino-German Institute of Intelligent Manufacturing has selected this composite robot for industry 4.0 training and demonstration work. It is believed that more intelligent applications will appear in industrial production lines, warehousing and logistics and other fields in the future.
