Generative artificial intelligence has opened up the world’s imagination for AI applications and made more enterprises realize the profound impact of intelligent technology on business decision-making and workflow automation. Following the trend of AI, Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), the leader of the global mobile robot market, released the MiR1200 pallet handling forklift equipped with Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin’s next-generation artificial intelligence pallet detection technology in the first quarter of this year, bringing thoughtful logistics solutions to the market and further advancing automation technology.
MiR1200 pallet handling forklift autonomous mobile robot
Integrating cutting-edge AI technology to enable forklifts to learn how to use their brains
The introduction of Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin equips the MiR1200 pallet handling forklift with a powerful computing core that can process massive amounts of data from numerous cameras and LiDAR in real-time
, enabling it to handle complex information and perform advanced tasks. This “digital brain” serves as the intelligent navigator of robots, integrating information from various sensors to ensure that MiR AMR can navigate safely and reliably in ever-changing industrial environments.
With the support of artificial intelligence technology, MiR1200 can create higher value for customers:
Excellent visual recognition ability: The MiR1200 is equipped with multiple independent intelligent cameras. Through the perception system of artificial intelligence, these cameras have powerful visual recognition and processing capabilities, able to recognize coated trays, reconstruct invisible images, and quickly and accurately complete grasping tasks. And this ability is difficult to achieve without the assistance of artificial intelligence.
Adaptable tray posture: In a constantly changing industrial environment, the posture of the tray may not always be regular. The MiR1200 has the ability to autonomously recognize and locate pallets while moving, and can intelligently adjust its posture to adapt to the angle of the pallet.
Accurate homework efficiency: MiR1200 can synchronously read and calculate data while moving to the grabbing point, thereby quickly executing grabbing actions when reaching the target position, reducing waiting time. Assuming the robot needs to perform 1000 grasping tasks per day, shortening each grasping by 10 seconds will save the enterprise huge time costs.
Continuous AI innovation and collaboration with Nvidia Isaac simulation platform
In addition to the innovation of MiR1200, MiR is also exploring the application of AI in other areas, including utilizing Nvidia’s scalable robot simulation application and synthetic data generation tool Isaac Sim to simulate MiR1200 and conduct testing to assist in the deployment of this pallet handling forklift in real industrial environments.
MiR Sales Director and China Regional Head, He Xiaohu, said, “Thanks to the support of AI technology, we have successfully endowed the MiR1200 with unprecedented navigation capabilities and flexibility. Our goal is to simplify complex logistics tasks, allowing robots to think like humans, and achieve the best results of human-machine collaboration. MiR promises to continuously push the boundaries of industrial automation, and looks forward to working with customers to open a new chapter in intelligent logistics.”. “
