Research & development programme

AMR-X is a modular autonomous mobile robot in research and development at CYBERMECH SYSTEMS: one base, interchangeable modules, built for the work ahead. Pre-orders only.

02Modules

Purposeful modules.

Dual Arm

Two articulated arms with five-finger hands, a stereo head and a vertical lift column. A manipulation concept for coordinated handling at conveyors and workstations.

03Module exchange

Leave a module. Collect it later.

A docking station holds the module while the base moves on to other work. Scroll to watch it undock.

Approach

The base drives into the open station with the module locked to its deck. Floor guides and the forward LiDAR bring it to the stop line.

Undock

Proposed sequence. Alignment tolerances, load sensing, interlocks and connector specifications remain to be engineered; this is not a validated automatic exchange system.

04Perception

Sees the room. Plans the way.

How a site gets mapped

01Rehearse

Each environment is built and tested in simulation first. Warehouse and hospital worlds run in Gazebo.

05Where it works

Wherever work has to move.

Coordinated handling at the conveyor.

The full-size dual-arm module explores baggage transfer at indoor handling stations.

Design study01 / 04

Aviation

Coordinated handling at the conveyor.

A dual-arm manipulation concept on the common AMR-X base: a vertical lift column, stereo head and two articulated arms support a stationary baggage handover at a baggage belt. Hands, payload and airport integration remain under development.

Healthcare

Controlled delivery. Clear handovers.

The secure-delivery concept uses a locked compartment module on the shared AMR-X base. Access control, cleanability and suitability for specific clinical workflows require validation.

Design study03 / 04

Manufacturing

Material flow, close to the line.

The shelf-access concept lowers a tote to travel height before the base moves, then draws it from or returns it to an ordinary rack slot with a telescopic handler. The same base, sensor locations and module interface carry over from the other AMR-X concepts.

Logistics

Carton handling, from aisle to station.

The shelf-access concept combines the AMR-X base with a rack-facing handling module. Reach, rack compatibility and operating performance remain subject to validation.

06Patrol & security

Built to patrol.

Knows the route. Notices what changed.

Two scanners on diagonally opposite corners merge into one 360° scan. On a patrol route, a scan that no longer matches the site map can flag a blocked aisle or an object out of place. Coverage and detection performance require hardware validation.

LiDAR

Knows the route. Notices what changed.

Two scanners on diagonally opposite corners merge into one 360° scan. On a patrol route, a scan that no longer matches the site map can flag a blocked aisle or an object out of place. Coverage and detection performance require hardware validation.

Design study02 / 05

Thermal

Finds heat that should not be there.

A thermal camera in the front sensor bar can check panels, motors and pipework on every round, so an abnormal temperature stands out sooner. Measurement accuracy and alarm thresholds remain to be defined.

Design study03 / 05

Vision

Sees the scene, and its depth.

A colour camera records what is in front of the robot, and stereo cameras with infrared projectors add depth. Operators can review what it saw on the round. Recording and privacy rules depend on each site.

Design study04 / 05

Gas

Samples the air along the way.

A gas sensor behind a vent on the side panel samples the air along the route, to help locate leaks in process areas. Which gases it detects, and how sensitively, depends on the sensor finally selected.

Design study05 / 05

Rear

Keeps watch behind it.

A rear camera covers the direction the robot has just come from, and supplies the rear view in the live twin. Its final placement is still a design proposal.

07Live twin

Five robots. Live in your browser.

This is the fleet simulation itself, running in your browser. Drive a robot, dispatch missions, start an incident, and watch the fleet re-plan.

Two ways to reach it.

Remote

Cloud dashboard

Follow the fleet, dispatch missions and review what each robot reported from a browser, wherever your team is. Each person signs in to their own account over an encrypted connection.

On site

In-house HMI

A secure local connection on your own site, with the display and controls on the robot. Operate and diagnose it from inside the building, with no internet connection and nothing leaving the site.

Use one or both, per site. A design direction: the access and security model is still to be validated.

08Roadmap

The road ahead.

AMR-X is a research and development programme. This is the path from today’s concept to robots at work.

  1. 01

    Research & simulation

    Platform architecture, module concepts and the ROS 2 stack, tested in a full simulation of the fleet.

    • ROS 2 · Nav2
    • Dual-LiDAR perception
    • Browser digital twin
  2. 02

    Engineering prototype

    The first physical base is built and tested against the design targets: payload, speed, endurance, stopping.

    • Base hardware build
    • Target validation
    • Safety architecture
  3. 03

    Module pilots

    The first modules go to work with partners in real workflows, one environment at a time.

    • Partner pilot sites
    • Module interface v1
    • Exchange station trials
  4. 04

    Modular fleets

    One base, many roles: fleets that change what they do by changing modules, run from one twin.

    • Fleet operations
    • Module ecosystem
    • Continuous updates
