Resgreen Group International announced initial results of payload capacity during pilot testing underway for LilBuddy has exceeded RGGI's original projections and expectations. Initial test results for LilBuddy shows that the AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) easily surpassed the load capacity of 100kg and can readily navigate tight spaces in a corridor. These results demonstrate that LilBuddy is best suited to finish internal delivery of workpieces in compact, narrow, and maze-like environments often sustained in machining centers and micro-distribution staging stations.
LilBuddy travels at a speed of up to 8.64 km/h (2.4 m/s) while avoiding both static and dynamic obstacles. In comparison to the company's other vehicles, LilBuddy is ultra compact (432 mm length x 432 mm width x 280 mm height). As a result, this AMR is able to effectively navigate in tight spaces.
By way of example, LilBuddy has the ability to move through door openings with a width of only 800 mm (2.63 ft). LilBuddy's hybrid ability, the use of magnetic tape and natural guidance, allows for greater versatility within its working environment. The AMR's features include front and rear solid state 2D/3D lidars that are used to map the areas traveled in and detect obstacles in its path.
Once LilBuddy learns the map, it can be dispatched to any location with triggers and commands from BotWay and BotWay connected devices. Routes, a series of waypoints and commands, can also be set up with a companion app or BotWay to specify exact movements and commands in long distance travel or complex chains of events.
