The materials handling world's love affair with the robot is as strong as ever, and anyone who attended ProMat in Chicago back in late March witnessed this firsthand.Of course, robots are nothing new to ProMat and its sister event Modex, with both events having featured robotics for about a decade now. This includes providers of autonomous mobile robots (AMR), as well as vendors of piece-picking robotic platforms using vision and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to know how to manipulate items.It's a given that dozens of AMRs and piece-picking cells were on display. Materials handling workflows are a good match for robotics, in that robots excel at either materials transport or item manipulation. |
