OMRON Automation Americas has launched the MD Series autonomous mobile robots (AMR) for medium-payload applications. This new series design provides greater efficiency at production sites. Also, it expands OMRON’s lineup of autonomous robots to cater to a wider variety of part and material transport applications.
