LD Series Autonomous Mobile Robots

The Omron LD Mobile Robot is a self-navigating Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) designed for dynamically moving material in challenging environments that may include confined passageways as well as dynamic and peopled locations. Unlike traditional autonomously guided vehicles (AGVs), Omron Mobile Robot requires no facility modifications, such as floor magnets or navigational beacons, saving users deployment costs. The LD includes Omron’s proprietary software and controls allowing it to intelligently navigate around people and unplanned obstacles, that render traditional AGVs incapacitated and it can be programmed and functional within a day. Designed for developers, integrators, and end-users the system can be customized for a variety of applications and payloads. Manufacturing, warehousing, clean tech and laboratories are just a few environments ideal for the mobile robot.

The World’s Most Popular Mobile Robot Solution

Integrated

Compatible with other OMRON robots, mobile robot fleets and MES systems.

Intelligent

Optimizes routing and adapts to changing conditions on the fly.

Interactive

Works safely with people and has an intuitive setup.

Fully autonomous intelligent vehicles

Our mobile robots are fully autonomous intelligent vehicles that increase throughput, reduce machine dwell time, eliminate errors, improve material traceability, and allow employees to focus on tasks that require complex human skills. What’s more, unlike traditional AGVs, our mobile robots navigate by the natural features of the facility and require no expensive facility modification.

Easy Installation

OMRON mobile robots are easy to get up  and running, requiring no construction such as the installation of magnets, and minimal programming. In addition, our software integrates with your other  systems so you can get the solution up and running in minimal time.

• No construction required
• Easy integration with MES, ERP, and WMS
• Enhanced security to comply with IT systems
• Autonomous navigation doesn’t require  preset routes, magnets, or beacons
• Automatic software updates across fleet  while maintaining continuous work flow

Flexible Functionality

OMRON’s mobile solutions are extremely versatile and can be adapted to perform a wide variety of tasks and applications. With payloads ranging from 60kg to 250kg available in multiple form factors and protection ratings, LD series mobile robots are perfectly suited for most small to midrange material transport applications. We’re also scalable, so we can grow with your business.

AMR vs. AGV  - The Difference is Flexibility

AGVs require a predefined path to follow,  either a network of magnetic lines on the  floor or beacons on the walls. So although  AGVs allow modifications to production lines,  facilities will need to install new equipment  every time the AGV path is changed, leading  to downtime and extra costs.

Unlike AGVs, which will stop at obstacles  indefinitely, AMRs avoid stationary or  moving obstacles and automatically  reroute themselves when necessary. AMR paths automatically change without  human intervention, making operations  more flexible and decreasing total cost  of ownership.

AMRs can safely navigate without the use  of floor magnets or wall-mounted beacons.  An AMR will first create a baseline map of  a facility using built-in sensors, then will  constantly detect its surroundings. When  processes change, AMRs can easily change  as well, creating networks of new routes  or being reassigned to new tasks.

Mapping and Navigation

Robust Navigation with LD Acuity Localization.

Acuity provides an additional method of "localization" to the onboard laser, to allow the robot to operate in frequently changing environments. It identifies overhead lights and overlays the "light map" with the "floor map" It also allows the robots to move easily across wide-open areas in large warehouses.

Our LD Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Skin is a protective measure to protect both the robot and ESDS (ESD Sensitive) items within the environment to which the robot operates from damage due to the buildup and discharge of static electrical energy created by field strengths.

• Protection for field strengths above approximately 40 kV/cm of air
• Skins designed to resist the static build up
• 100% compatible with existing standard LD robots, optional skin sets are also available
• Protection for both the robot and Electrostatic Sensitive Discharge Sensitive (ESDS) items
