Adapta Robotics’ solutions automate critical device testing and retail inventory operations formally accomplished using inefficient and error prone manual methods, freeing workers for higher value tasks in the process.

To optimize their effectiveness, increase human-robot collaboration, and reduce the risk of mishaps, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) must understand, and take cues from, the social behavior of their human coworkers. Cloud-based technologies for deep learning training are key to making that happen.

Companies must prioritize safety when deploying autonomous mobile robots. The ANSI/RIA R15.08 safety standard for mobile robots, recently released by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Robotic Industries Association (RIA), should be your guide.
