Mobile robots have the capability to move around in their environment and are not fixed to one physical location. The use of mobile robots in commercial and industrial contexts is growing. Autonomous mobile robots have long been used by hospitals for material transportation. Mobile robotic systems have been implemented in warehouses to effectively transfer commodities from order fulfilment zones to stocking shelves. With industries increasingly adopting Industry 4.0 principles, mobile robots have emerged as essential components in the transformation of traditional manufacturing environments into smart and efficient production hubs.

Companies are strongly pushed to automate due to staffing shortages. The impact of robots varies among different industries, geographic areas, and population groups. Sales of service robots saw remarkable growth in the past year, primarily driven by staffing shortages in various industries. This has prompted companies to seek automated solutions tailored to the requirements of advanced robots for specific applications, including warehouse operations. The development of advanced sensor technologies has enhanced the capabilities of autonomous mobile robots.

Segment Analysis

The Global Mobile Robots Market has been segmented based on Robot Type, Application and End User Industry.

Based on robot type, the Mobile Robots market is bifurcated into Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) which are further bifurcated into Underride AGVs, Tow tractors, Unit load AGVs & Forked AGV and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) which are further bifurcated into Transport Inventory AMRs, Picking Assist AMRs, Sortation AMRs and others. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are typically more technologically advanced than other types of AGVs. While many AGVs use fixed navigation systems, such as wires or magnetic tape, many AMRs are equipped with intelligent navigation capabilities such as sensors and camera systems that enable them to detect and navigate around obstacles. Recent development of more sophisticated technology, AMRs can dynamically navigate a warehouse or other facility and plan the most efficient paths.

Based on application, the Mobile Robots market is further divided into Material Handling & Logistics, Inspection & Maintenance, Cleaning & Disinfections, Security & Surveillance, Intralogistics & Transportation and Last Mile Delivery. Intralogistics refers to internal logistics processes such as warehousing, transport and handling of materials or goods, stock control or feeding of production lines. An autonomous mobile robot to help to optimize the intralogistics processes. The design of AMRs is dictated by the working conditions in warehouses and production facilities.

Based on the end use industry, the market is further categorized, and sub categorized into manufacturing, logistics & distribution, healthcare, E-commerce & retail, automotive and others. Mobile robots are deployed in manufacturing facilities to transport raw materials, components, and finished products. They streamline the movement of goods between different workstations, minimizing manual handling and optimizing production processes. The use of mobile robots and mobile manipulators creates the flexible and autonomous industrial automation needed to create Smart Factories, where the greatest asset is the exchange of information made possible by the integration of the latest intelligent technologies into robotics.
