# AMR-X

> AMR-X is a modular autonomous mobile robot by CYBERMECH SYSTEMS: one base, interchangeable modules, and a live digital twin of the fleet.

Status: Stage: R&D · concept. Now: Simulation & design. Next: Engineering prototype. Orders: Pre-order only. Performance figures on the site are design targets under validation. Any order for AMR-X at this stage is a pre-order.

Developed by CYBERMECH SYSTEMS SUARL, Espace Tunis, Bloc H, Bureau H3-1, Montplaisir, 1073 Tunis, Tunisia.

## Platform

- Module interface: Every module seats on the same deck: two guide pins locate it, four rotary T-locks pull it down and hold it, and one sealed connector mates last to carry power and data. The locks are designed to stay closed without power.
- Energy system: One enclosed pack sits low at the rear, keeping mass close to the floor, and lifts straight out from above for service. A LiFePO4 pack is the current candidate; ratings are under study.
- Drive assembly: Two independently driven wheels steer the base. Each sits in its own sprung drive pod that keeps it pressed to the floor, with a brake that holds the robot when power is cut. Four swivel casters in the corner bays carry the rest of the load.
- Control electronics: One enclosed unit at the front holds compute, motion control and sensor connections, close to the forward LiDAR and away from the energy bay.
- Sensing: Everything the robot senses, in its place. The front bar holds the colour, thermal and stereo depth cameras with their infrared projectors. Two corner LiDARs map the space, a rear camera watches behind, and a gas sensor on the right side samples the air. Sensor models are still to be selected.
- Serviceable chassis: A perimeter frame carries the deck and the drive. Bolted covers come off to reach every bay, while the wheels stay on their axles.

## Modules

- D1 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.
- R1 Rail Climber: A rack-handling concept whose carriage leaves the base and drives on a rail grid fixed to the rack, up and down and left and right, so it reaches any fitted slot from one docking point. It then comes back to its base, and an overhead arm with a vacuum gripper lifts each package from above.
- T1 Mast Handler: A telescopic mast and tote handler fixed on the base, for the lower levels of ordinary racks. It needs no rails or fittings on the rack.
- C1 Secure Compartment: Lockable compartments for controlled deliveries and handovers.

## Application concepts

- Aviation: 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: 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.
- Manufacturing: 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: 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.

## Patrol & security

Inspection and security rounds in plants, warehouses and industrial sites: what each sensor is there to notice. A concept in development; detection performance is still to be validated.

- LiDAR: 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.
- Thermal: 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.
- Vision: 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.
- Gas: 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.
- Rear: 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.

## Operating access

- Cloud dashboard (Remote): 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.
- In-house HMI (On site): 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.

## Roadmap

- Research & simulation: Platform architecture, module concepts and the ROS 2 stack, tested in a full simulation of the fleet.
- Engineering prototype: The first physical base is built and tested against the design targets: payload, speed, endurance, stopping.
- Module pilots: The first modules go to work with partners in real workflows, one environment at a time.
- Modular fleets: One base, many roles: fleets that change what they do by changing modules, run from one twin.
