To increase the efficiency of their operations while simultaneously reducing costs, forward thinking companies have adopted autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to automate the movement of materials and goods environments. Another key feature of AMRs is their ability to operate safely in peopled, in dynamic environments. To ensure high levels of safe operation, safety standards have been put in place. But the standards can be complex, and they vary from location to location. In addition, there are issues not addressed by formal standards. In this session, a panel of leading robotics safety experts will review most critical issues for the safe operation of autonomous mobile robots, including standards efforts, risk assessments, best practices and safety technologies.
