AVIV, Israel , May 18, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- MOV.AI announced today its partnership with Ouster,
a leading provider of high-resolution digital lidar sensors, to
provide autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) with uninterrupted autonomy
in today's challenging intralogistics and industrial environments.
MOV.AI has integrated Ouster digital lidar into its Robotics Engine
PlatformTM for industrial equipment manufacturers that
are looking to automate.
The global warehousing and storage market is estimated to grow
from approximately $450 billion in
2021 to $605 billion in
2027.[1] Demand for material handling and
warehouse logistics is driven by the dramatic growth of e-commerce,
where U.S. online sales, for example, were up by 32% in
2020.[2]
With the demand for intralogistics services skyrocketing,
warehouse environments are becoming increasingly dynamic and dense.
AMRs need to be able to navigate and move around autonomously, in
tall, narrow aisles, with frequently changing inventory and very
few fixed physical features to guide them.
Ouster's digital lidar provides AMRs with high-resolution data
to accurately perceive the environment and accomplish specific
tasks. The OS0 sensor's ultra-wide vertical field-of-view allows
AMRs to map the entire warehouse environment, from floor to
ceiling, in real-time. This data is then used in autonomy
algorithms to help the AMR safely and efficiently navigate
throughout the warehouse.
Combining Ouster's high-resolution data with the MOV.AI Robotics
Engine PlatformTM, advanced SLAM
navigation, obstacle avoidance, and risk avoidance solutions,
AMRs can operate efficiently and continuously in challenging
warehouse environments, including:
- Dynamic environments
- Environments with little static information (features)
- Environments with repeated structures
The MOV.AI ROS-based Robotics Engine PlatformTM
provides AMR manufacturers and automation integrators with
navigation, localization, calibration, and the enterprise-grade
tools they need for advanced automation. It includes a visual
Integrated Development Environment (IDE), off-the-shelf algorithms
and integrations, fleet management, flexible interfaces with
warehouse environments such as ERP and WMS, and cyber-security
compliance.
"MOV.AI's mission is to speed up robot development and to
provide AMR manufacturers and integrators with everything they need
to develop and operate great robots," said Motti Kushnir, MOV.AI's CEO. "Through our
partnership with Ouster, we are able to offer our customers
autonomy solutions that work seamlessly in environments with a
limited field-of-view and physical features."
"Digital lidar is great for warehouse automation due to its
high-resolution, wide field-of-view and reliability. It can provide
incredibly precise 3D spatial information that just isn't possible
with legacy laser scanning systems, cameras, or radar alone.
Reliable data is what enables the robots to move safely and
efficiently in dynamic environments," said Aaron English, Ouster's Head of Product
Marketing for Industrial & Robotics. "The industry is at a
tipping point for automation, which is why we're excited to be
partnered with MOV.AI as they scale adoption of their Robotics
Engine PlatformTM."
