Drobot develops Collaborative Mobile Robots designed for dynamic manufacturing environments like job shops. These robots autonomously find, fetch, and transfer materials directly between people and workstations based on ad hoc requests. Operators manage the robots easily using smartphones, tablets, or natural language commands.

Problem
Manual material handling in dynamic manufacturing environments is inefficient, leading to wasted time and reduced productivity as workers search for and transport items. Traditional automation solutions often lack the flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of job shops and the movement of personnel.
Solution
Drobot provides collaborative mobile robots designed to work alongside humans in dynamic manufacturing settings. These robots can navigate cluttered environments to locate, retrieve, and transfer items in real-time, responding to ad hoc requests from shop floor operators and technicians. Controlled via intuitive interfaces like smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, natural language, and gestures, Drobot's robots facilitate direct transfer between people moving within the plant, optimizing workflow and reducing manual handling.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturing job shops seeking to improve efficiency and reduce manual material handling.
