Abstract

Mobile autonomous robotics is on its way to industry. Beyond the useful logistics applications where the material for a manufacturing procedure is delivered on demand, the mobile manipulation of objects is still under development. The modern flexible production lines can be supported by autonomous industrial mobile manipulators (AIMM) acting as a cobot for numerous tasks. During the MBZIRC (Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge) an autonomous mobile manipulator was developed showing the potential for industrial applications.
