Omron Ld 250 Mobile Robot

The Omron Automation Americas LD-250 autonomous mobile robot handles payloads up to 250 kg. Able to carry unwieldy items traditionally transported in human-operated carts, the robot avoids people and obstacles while automatically calculating the best routes to transport material. It is customizable with special conveyor tops, courier systems, and adaptive material handling mechanics. It includes a high accuracy positioning system, side lasers, and vision localization technology.
