A mobile assistant robot for assembly and logistics, featuring a modular carrier structure for material boxes, tools, or bins used for order picking. This configuration demonstrates one possible use case of how employees in warehouses, workshops, or production environments can be supported in their daily work – flexibly, mobile, and without complicated operation.
Operation Without Additional Technology
A key development principle of the FollowMe Robot is simplicity: the user should not need any additional technology to control the robot.
No app, no tablet, no remote control.
Operation is direct and intuitive through:
- Gesture control – simple hand signals for start, stop, or follow
- Foot switch – a robust control option for industrial environments
- Automatic person detection for the FollowMe principle
This keeps the focus on the actual work – not on the technology.
Mobile Support for Order Picking
In warehouse environments, the FollowMe Robot can accompany employees directly and take over transport tasks. While items are picked or sorted, the robot automatically moves along and keeps the bins within easy reach.
This creates a mobile workstation directly in the warehouse aisle.
Benefits:
- reduced walking distances
- faster picking processes
- both hands free for work
- improved ergonomics
- intuitive operation with minimal training required
Material and Tool Carrier for Assembly Stations
The robot is also ideal for use in production as an intelligent material cart. Tools, screws, components, or consumables can be transported directly to the workstation and made available where needed.
Especially in dynamic production environments, ease of use is essential – particularly when different employees work with the system.
Modular Concept
The shown setup is modular and can be adapted to different requirements:
- bin systems for order picking
- tool holders
- material transport
- custom application-specific configurations
Outlook
The FollowMe Robot represents a practical form of robotics: technology that works in the background and adapts to people – not the other way around.
Easy to operate, ready to use, and delivering real added value in everyday industrial work.
