In this episode of our Expert View series, we bring you Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Naveen Arulselvan, CTO at Ati Motors, an autonomous mobile robots maker in Bengaluru, specialising in tugs and related platforms for factories and warehouses.
In Part 1, Naveen gave us a quick intro to Ati’s ‘full-stack’ approach to how the company’s flagship family of robots, called Sherpas, were engineered from the beginning. In this episode, he gives us a sense of the capabilities Ati was able to build into the robots because of that approach.
A standout feature is that the Sherpas can operate in harsh conditions, including outdoors, in blazing summers, rain and even snow.
In this conversation, Naveen also talks about advances that are happening in the world of AMRs and how they will influence the evolution of these robots. He believes that, in general, AMRs will be much more ‘intelligent’ in the future. This will allow humans to put AMRs to work in many more environments and in more complex scenarios where AI-led software will act as overarching fleet managers, in both intra-fleet and inter-fleet applications.
