SUCCESS CASES - Automate your industry with mobile robotics

Nowadays, autonomous mobile robotics has changed the automation landscape, especially in collaborative spaces where humans and robots work together. Industries are no longer just looking to automate, but rather to use intelligent automation to optimise both production and profitability. This is borne out by the success stories of the last twenty years. Find in the link 9 real uses of robotics framed in the three verticals in which Robotnik is at the forefront: Mobile Handling, Inspection and Transport.

The uses of robotics are consolidated in many professional sectors with an unprecedented increase in Europe of 24% in the last year. Specifically, statistics point to a growth in global demand for autonomous mobile robotics of 40% per year, according to IFR (International Federation of Robotics) predictions. Currently, there are more than 5,000 autonomous mobile robots from Robotnik working with people and for people around the world, powering different industries globally.


After 20 years in the robotics business, Robotnik's experience is that all investment in robotics and autonomous mobile handling comes back to the benefit of the end user, both in terms of economics and productivity.

Collaborative robotics is the tool for companies to evolve in a competitive, intelligent and constant way. Therefore, the use of robotics is no longer only part of the strategy of large multinationals but also of SMEs, as it is flexible, scalable and adaptable to the needs of any type of company, however small it may be.

🔴How do we facilitate the use of robotics? An intuitive and easier use of robotics.

One of Robotnik's objectives is to facilitate the process of incorporating autonomous mobile robotics for the end user who, in most cases, does not have any connection with the robotics sector or specific knowledge (e.g. programming). Flexibility and ease of implementation have contributed to the increasing use of autonomous mobile robotics in the industrial sector. Providing end-users with user-friendly tools to control their robots is one of the keys to success.

🔺The Advanced User Interface: is a Robotnik's own development which consists in a tool to control and manage the robots in an user-friendly way. It allows the end user to monitor the robot in real time or to launch missions, among other actions. In addition, it is accessible from any type of device (computer, tablet, mobile device, …).
🔺Free navigation. The free navigation by using lasers, means that it is not necessary a large installation or previous infrastructure to incorporate mobile robotics. Robotnik robots do not require a delimited security perimeter, but can move safely from one point to another to operate in different locations. The free navigation of AMRs is one of the major differences compared to the application of an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV).
🔺Collaborative. The collaborative robotics developed and manufactured by Robotnik integrate sensors, lasers and different technologies that enable them to process data from the environment in real time and make an intelligent decision autonomously. Therefore, they can work collaboratively sharing industrial spaces with humans, ensuring safety.
🔺Scalable. Mobility and autonomy make these robots flexible and scalable systems both in terms of the space of action and the number of units: they can be progressively increased according to needs.
🔺Price. In the past, the use of robotics was exclusive to large companies, due to the high cost of implementation of robotic systems. Robotnik, despite having a process of development and manufacture of mobile robots completely in-house, has lowered the cost of sale, thus being able to reach many SMEs that previously had no access.

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances

IDS Imaging Development Systems offers a range of models, from a webcam-like camera in industrial quality to a tiny autofocus camera that weighs just12 grams. The 13 MP autofocus camera uEye XC closes the market gap between industrial cameras and webcams. Setting up and operating only requires a cable connection. After that, the autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the optionally available, quickly exchangeable macro lens, users can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it also suitable for close-up applications. Focus from a distance of just 10 cm. The uEye XS is even more compact and fits into almost any application with its size of just 26.4 x 23 x 21.7 mm. Thanks to its autofocus and 5 MP CMOS sensor, it delivers consistently sharp images and videos from a distance of just 10 cm. When it comes to image quality, natural color reproduction and harmonious contrast are also decisive factors. IDS has therefore equipped the uEye XS with many other practical automatic features familiar from consumer technology. This includes white balance, exposure and gain. As a result, it delivers the best possible result in every situation.
