Amirobots supplies autonomous mobile collaborative robots that perform loading, welding, and cutting tasks across multiple workstations in metalworking, aerospace, automotive, and engineering factories. The cobots use SLAM‑based navigation, sensor‑fusion perception, and edge‑AI task scheduling, integrate with PLCs and MES via OPC‑UA or REST APIs, and comply with ISO/TS 15066 safety standards.

Problem
Manufacturers face a persistent labor shortage and rely on workers to perform repetitive, ergonomically demanding tasks such as loading machine tools, welding, and cutting. Fixed industrial robots are costly, require dedicated cells, and lack the flexibility to move between workstations, limiting overall equipment utilization.
Solution
Amirobots delivers autonomous, mobile collaborative robots (cobots) that share the shop floor with human operators. The robots combine SLAM‑based navigation, sensor‑fusion perception, and ISO/TS 15066‑compliant safety controls to move safely between stations without cages or barriers. On‑board edge computing executes task‑allocation algorithms that dynamically assign loading, unloading, welding, or cutting operations based on real‑time production schedules. By being redeployable, a single cobot can serve multiple machines, increasing equipment uptime and reducing the need for dedicated robotic cells. The system integrates with existing PLCs and MES via OPC‑UA or REST APIs, allowing seamless data exchange and minimal disruption to current workflows. Operators interact through an intuitive HMI tablet that visualizes robot status, safety zones, and task queues, enabling quick overrides when necessary.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid‑size to large manufacturers in metalworking, aerospace, automotive, and general engineering who need flexible automation for loading/unloading, welding, and cutting across multiple workstations.
