Robots Handling Harsh and Hazardous Factory Conditions

One minute insights from our conversations with CXOs and industry experts.

When you go to a place like where the operating conditions are much milder, but the conditions are much more congested. So you need to have a fleet manager which is flexible enough to do that kind of traffic management. at a three-way junction or a four-way junction where you have multiple rewards that could be coming at the same time and the yield behavior can be unpredictable if you don't have that kind of a traffic management system. So, that is something that the full-stack approach lets you do. The other thing that is very interesting for us because we do a full-stack approach is again got to do with the bots capability going from indoors to outdoors and vice versa. So we were able to operate in rainy conditions, we were able to operate in snowy conditions.

There is a recent demo that we did in Michigan where our bot, they loved our bot because we were able to operate in snow. One of the reasons we got selected recently in a factory was there were concerns with the factory workers taking material out in a rain and they would not do that. It would be difficult for them to do it. And they really wanted an autonomous solution where you can still operate in rain. and ramps. So these are cases where it is becoming more and more clear that harsher conditions, why would you want to send humans out to work in those conditions? Can the robots just handle it? And that seems like the way forward. So, there are lots of new applications that we can be looking at.
