"We’ve run over half a million successful missions, and the robots have not called in sick one single day."

A mobile industrial robot — also called an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) — is a self-navigating robot that transports materials through warehouses, factories, and production facilities without drivers, tracks, or fixed infrastructure. MiR mobile industrial robots use onboard LiDAR, 3D cameras, and AI-driven navigation to map their environment, plan optimal routes in real time, and avoid people and obstacles dynamically. 

The MiR product family includes the MiR250 (250 kg payload), MiR600 (600 kg), MiR1350 (1,350 kg), and the MiR1200 Pallet Jack (1,200 kg) — all centrally managed through MiR Fleet software. MiR is part of Teradyne Robotics. 

An AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) navigates freely using sensors and AI, planning its own routes and rerouting around obstacles in real time. An AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) follows fixed routes defined by magnetic tape, wires, or floor markers, and stops when blocked. 

For most modern warehouses and factories, AMRs deliver lower total cost of ownership and faster ROI than AGVs. 

Mobile industrial robots are used across manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, 3PL, and e-commerce fulfillment. They deliver the highest value in facilities with long internal travel distances, multi-shift operations, labor shortages, or frequently changing layouts. 

Common applications include line-side material delivery, machine tending, pallet movement, replenishment, goods-to-person workflows, and hospital logistics. With interchangeable top modules — shelf carriers, hooks, conveyors, and lifts — a single MiR AMR can be reconfigured across multiple use cases without buying new hardware. 

Yes. MiR mobile industrial robots are engineered for collaborative environments and comply with ISO 3691-4, the international safety standard for driverless industrial trucks. Each robot is equipped with safety-rated 360° laser scanners, 3D depth cameras, emergency stops, signal lights, and personnel-detection systems. 

The MiR1200 Pallet Jack adds fused LiDAR and 3D machine vision for floor-to-ceiling obstacle detection — a meaningfully safer alternative to manual pallet jacks and operator-driven forklifts. Robots automatically slow down or stop when humans approach and reroute around obstacles without intervention. 

MiR AMRs typically become operational within days to a few weeks because they require no tracks, wires, or structural changes to the facility. Deployment includes a site walkthrough, environment mapping, integration with existing WMS, ERP, or MES systems, and operator training. 

MiR Fleet centrally manages the entire robot fleet from a single interface and lets you scale by adding robots over time without redoing setup. MiR Insights provides cloud-based performance analytics, and MiR Academy delivers ongoing training so internal teams can manage the fleet independently as it grows.

Yes. The MiR1200 Pallet Jack is a purpose-built autonomous pallet jack that detects, lifts, transports, and delivers EU pallets weighing up to 1,200 kg at speeds of up to 1.5 m/s. It uses an AI-based perception system powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, trained on over 1.2 million real and synthetic images, to recognize pallets reliably — even when shrink-wrapped, slightly misaligned, or tightly stored. 

Fused 3D LiDAR and machine vision detect obstacles from floor to overhead. ISO 3691-4 compliance, a 1:14 charge ratio with opportunity charging, and full MiR Fleet integration alongside MiR250, MiR600, and MiR1350 robots enable true 24/7 hands-free pallet handling for high-throughput facilities.
