Adept Technology, Inc., a provider of intelligent robots and autonomous mobile solutions, announces the launch of the Adept Lynx. Lynx is a self-navigating Autonomous Indoor Vehicle (AIV) designed for moving material from point to point in challenging environments that may include confined passageways, as well as dynamic and peopled locations. Given the vehicle’s user interface, the system can be customised for various applications and payloads by integrators, distributors and users alike. Lynx will be showcased at the Automate 2013 show on 21-24 January at McCormick Place (booth 354) in Chicago, Illinois (US), as well as in partner booths at the adjoining ProMat show.
According to Rush LaSelle, vice president and general manager of mobile robots for Adept Technology, Lynx requires no facility modifications, such as floor magnets or navigational beacons, and the vehicle includes Adept’s proprietary software and controls allowing it to navigate around people and unplanned obstacles that stop autonomously guided vehicles (AGVs).
The Lynx AIV supports payloads up to 60 kilograms (kg), utilises a digital map for localisation and manages power and self-charging operations.
Also at the Automate show, John Dulchinos, Adept’s chief executive officer and president, will be hosting an Expert Huddle discussion on “Using Flexible Automation to Achieve Reshoring” at 2 p.m. (booth 208) on Monday, 21 January. The show’s free Expert Huddle discussions are open to all attendees and are designed to provide an opportunity to engage in a discussion group with industry experts.
