AMR stands for Autonomous Mobile Robot. It refers to a type of robot that is capable of navigating and performing tasks in an unstructured or dynamic environment without the need for constant human intervention. AMRs are designed to operate autonomously, using a combination of sensors, mapping, and decision-making algorithms to navigate and interact with their surroundings.

• Mobility: These robots are designed to move freely in their environment, typically using wheels, tracks, or other locomotion mechanisms. They can navigate around obstacles, avoid collisions, and adapt to changing conditions.
• Autonomy: AMRs are self-guided and can make decisions independently based on their programming and sensory input.
• Sensing and Perception: AMRs use various sensors, such as cameras, lidar (Light Detection and Ranging), ultrasonic sensors, and proximity sensors, to perceive their surroundings. This enables them to detect objects, map their environment, and make informed decisions about their movements.
• Mapping and Localization: AMRs often create maps of their environment and use localization techniques to determine their position within the map. This allows them to plan optimal paths and navigate efficiently.
• Task Execution: AMRs are designed to perform specific tasks, such as material handling, picking and placing objects, transporting goods, or inspection tasks. They can interact with their environment, manipulate objects, and carry out assigned tasks with minimal human intervention.

Connectivity and Integration: AMRs can be integrated with other systems and devices, such as warehouse management systems, to exchange information and coordinate their activities. They may also communicate with humans or other robots in the environment.
