Mobile Robot Interoperability Standards
With autonomous mobile robots (AMR) gaining in popularity, more and more end users are finding themselves in the situation of managing a heterogeneous fleet of AMRs. This has caused the need for interoperability among these systems. This panel will discuss the various standards that encompass the operation of AMRs and/or Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and the latest developments in these standards.

Real-World Use Cases
In this session, as a pioneer in AMR solutions provider in South Korea, we want to talk about the dilemmas we faced due to the gap arising from the high demands/poor on-site reality of e-commerce warehouse automation. We also want to share how we overcame them to deliver a successful AMR experience, using our two real-world cases of logistics giants in South Korea: 1) Lotte Global Logistics, and 2) LX Pantos.
This session can help listeners not only understand the market status of South Korea’s (+APAC) warehouse automation but also bring a thoughtful insight into the market potential from a long-term perspective.

Worker-Centric Mobile Robot Integration
This presentation offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities associated with mobile robot integration in manufacturing. It delves into the distinctions between stationary and mobile robot integration, with a particular emphasis on their impact on workers. Unlike stationary collaborative robots, mobile robots engage more intimately with workers, necessitating deeper consideration of their well-being and expertise. In a world where respect, responsibility, and equitable treatment in the workplace are increasingly advocated, recognizing workers' input is pivotal.

Introduction to Mobile Robot Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is a key step in the development of safety solutions for all robot systems. When IMRs are part of the system, the risk assessment approach needs to be expanded beyond the typical task/hazard pairs of traditional systems. This session explores the additional scope to be considered when autonomous mobility is introduced.

The Future of Warehouse Robotics
To realize the full potential of warehouse automation, new robots need to be flexible to handle multiple tasks at multiple sites in the warehouse. Palletizing, depalletizing, truck loading, truck unloading - how can one robot handle it all?
Join us as we discuss how new approaches in AI, reinforcement learning, and sensing combine with classic controls to make off-the-shelf robot hardware capable of tackling some of the most complex challenges in material handling. Rather than waiting for the next generation of robots, let's help robotic hardware gain new skills at the speed of software.

8 Key Considerations When Assessing AMR Vendors
The global marketplace is highly competitive, with constant pressure to innovate in order to avoid falling behind. Manufacturers are asking themselves what changes are needed to stay competitive, what expectations their customers have, and what their industry will look like in five years. The answer is automation. Since material handling is one of the biggest consumers of labor in a manufacturing operation, leading manufacturers have implemented autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to save money, improve efficiency, keep people safe, and ensure business continuity.
In this session, attendees will learn the eight key considerations in their search to select the right AMRs for their facility. Each consideration will also include a list of specific questions that manufacturers can ask shortlisted vendors to help them understand which vendor is the right match for their needs. Attendees will also be provided with an evaluation worksheet to assist them as they visit each AMR booth at the expo.
