OMRON HD-1500 mobile robot

The OMRON HD-1500 mobile robot has a heavy payload capacity of up to 1500 kg. The robots can automatically calculate the best route for material transportation while navigating safely around people and obstacles without the use of magnetic floor tapes or other guides. It can be used to transport things that would have traditionally been moved using forklifts, such as voluminous materials in the food and commodities industries.

The company’s ‘Fleet Manager’ can control up to 100 mobile robots with different sizes, configurations and payload capacities under one system, allowing customers to use the HD-1500 with OMRON’s existing robots.

Other features include: battery charges in 39 minutes; 360-degree safety scanning lasers used for simultaneous localisation and safety functionality; navigation using adaptive safety zones from LiDAR technology; improved CAPS technology allows for better accuracy and repeatability for docking.
