Mw² is the nerve center of Meanwhile autonomous mobile robotics applications. We find in these the vehicles with their charging stations which allow the robots to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We will also find, depending on the needs, transfer stations that allow operators to pick up and drop off bins destined for the robot, which will then be transported to the next production stage. Finally we will find warning lights, telephone calls...

When we talk about mobile robotics, it is most of the time the vehicle itself that is mentioned. In reality, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Indeed, for mobile robots to be autonomous and productive in their application, it is necessary to assemble an entire ecosystem that will make it possible to fulfill all the missions that will be assigned to these mobile robots.

On the occasion of the Spring of Robotics, Eric LEMONNIER, Logistics Manager at the Hospital Center of Cholet, spoke to share his experience on the installation of an autonomous mobile robot within the Hospital Center.

Through this interview with Tony PERLEMOINE, Logistics Project Manager at the Nantes University Hospital, you will discover the whole process of the autonomous mobile robot project within the Nantes University Hospital, from the initial need to the feedback.

CSR is part of efforts to respect people and the environment in a sustainable development approach. The aim is to improve the quality of life of employees and all those who come into contact with the company.

A turnkey project allows a company to buy a complete, ready-to-use product from an assembly contractor. For example, an industrialist may need to acquire a fleet of turnkey mobile robots, i.e. ready to start production, instead of having to design it, equip it, ensure commissioning, recruiting and training staff, etc.

There is a rapid evolution of autonomous mobile robots (AMR), which are able to navigate and perform other functions autonomously. AMRs can consist of a mobile base, a mobile base with an embedded application module with a personalized user interface and sometimes a mobile base with an embedded robotic arm.

There are more and more autonomous mobile robotic solutions on the market. It is therefore important to ask yourself the right questions in order to maximize your R.O.I.
