Omron mobile robots win METI Minister’s Award
Omron LD Series and HD Series mobile robots have won the prominent Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) Minister’s Award at the 10th Robot Awards program, which is chiefly co-organised by METI and the Japan Machinery Federation.
The Robot Awards program commends outstanding robots, components and software to facilitate the development of robot technologies and the expansion of robot utilisation in Japan. Omron LD/HD Series mobile robots have won the prestigious METI Minister’s Award accolade in recognition of a highly productive transport platform with advanced safety and usability that contributes to the advancement of manufacturing industries worldwide and its potential for future deployment.
Omron’s high-quality mobile robot platform enables forming a fleet of multiple autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). It is a practical system combining individual technologies, such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology that constructs a map of an unknown environment while simultaneously keeping track of an agent’s location within it, and obstacle avoidance.
Having sold over 3,000 units in 40 countries, these mobile robots have been found to significantly contribute to enhance productivity on manufacturing floors. In the years ahead these transport platforms are expected to automate more applications in a wider variety of fields, to create a better society by solving social issues through business.
