Today, over 200 MiR100 logistics robots and accessories are installed in facilities all over the world.
At Automate 2017, MiR is launching its newest robot, the MiR200.
The MiR200 updates MiR’s web-based user interface, with the aim of making programming easier for users who have no previous experience. Updates include customizable dashboards, improved mapping, easier creation of robot missions and tasks, multi-level permissions, responsive web design and comprehensive browser support.
The MiR200 doubles the payload capacity of the MiR100 to 200kg/440lbs, and offers a MiRHook option for autonomous towing of carts up to 500kg/1102lbs.
With its ESD-compliant exterior, the MiR200 is also suitable for electronic assembly applications where parts being transported must be protected from electrostatic discharge.
MiR robots utilize six separate sensor systems, which feed data to the robot’s real-time navigation and safety algorithms. This enables quick decisions for efficient and safe operation of the robot, even in changing situations with unpredictable obstacles such as people, extension cords, pallets or boxes.
Full 360-degree scanning allows the robot to safely back up, rather than being limited to forward motion. Additional sensors prevent blind spots by identifying obstacles above the robot and can look ahead and down to identify holes or stairwells, as well as clear obstacles such as glass walls.
