Introduction

Autonomous Mobile Manipulator Robot (AMMR) is a sophisticated automated system consisting of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) platform (an automated system used for independent movement within a dynamic environment in absence of any external guiding tracks) along with a robotic arm/manipulator (used for manipulation purposes such as grasping and assembling). The robots navigate through dynamic environments such as warehouses and manufacturing plants to complete tasks including sorting, packaging and machine tending on their own without any human interference. The South Korea Autonomous Mobile Manipulator Robots Market is taking shape through the combination of autonomous mobility and robotic dexterity that enables robots to move, pick, place, sort and assemble the parts without human assistance. As opposed to fixed automation, mobile manipulators offer increased flexibility through the ability to adapt to changes in SKUs, processes, and manufacturing through software modifications. Mobile manipulators can also resolve the issue of lack of skilled labor and increasing costs of human capital in semiconductor manufacturing, electronics, logistics, and advanced assembly applications. In addition, technologies like LiDAR, computer vision, and SLAM make it possible for robots to navigate effectively, safely, and accurately.
