MiR100 mobile robot - cost-effective internal transportation

Designed for small-to-medium transport tasks within the industrial, logistics and healthcare sectors, the MiR100 requires no structural changes to the building, wires in the floor or sensors in the ceiling, so is much easier and cheaper to implement than a conventional AGV (automated guided vehicle) fleet. The design allows agile driving through doorways, as well as in and out of lifts. Moreover, integral technology means that the robot can either 'identify' its own driving areas and surroundings or import 3D schematics of the building layout.

Collaborative working

Thanks to its high-specification safety features, the MiR100 can be used for collaborative operations in environments populated by people. It automatically decelerates, stops and re-routes around obstacles as necessary using integral scanners, 3D cameras and ultrasound. In addition, handling is extremely smooth because the mobile robot is equipped with a bogie-type suspension that results in improved weight distribution and better surface traction.

Importantly, user-friendly software ensures that anyone can program the robot, while operations can be overseen via smartphone, tablet or PC. Of course, transport needs and demands vary, so customers can choose from one of three patterns that cover typical transport tasks within industrial, logistics and healthcare facilities. The three driving patterns are called bus service, post and taxi.

Performance specification

With a loading platform of 600x800mm, the MiR100 has a carrying capacity of 100kg and can tow approximately 300kg. Furthermore, it can be equipped with a variety of bespoke modules, depending on the type of goods or materials to be transported. The MiR mobile robot offers an operating time of 10 hours or 20km, and has a maximum speed of 5.4km/h. A turning radius of 0.55m is achievable around the centre of the robot.

Also available is a hook version (MiR100 Hook). This is essentially a mobile robot featuring an extendable on-board hook for the fully automated picking and delivery of trolleys.
