Mouser Holds Intelligent Autonomous Robot Design Seminar
Presenting development methodology for real developers

Mouser Electronics, an authorized distributor supplying the latest semiconductors and electronic components worldwide, announced on the 13th that it will hold the '2021 Intelligent Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) Design Seminar' for two days from Wednesday, September 29th to Thursday, September 30th.

This seminar, held amidst growing interest and demand for AMRs, will cover the technology and development of AMRs (intelligent autonomous mobile robots), which are being applied in sectors such as frontline logistics warehouses, manufacturing sites, and distribution, following unmanned guided vehicles (AGVs), as well as the know-how required for their various applications. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), unit sales of AMRs in the logistics sector, which currently has the highest demand for AMRs, are expected to increase by 31% annually between 2020 and 2023, and sales in the public sector worldwide are also expected to increase by 40% annually during the same period.

The design and development of AMR systems is very challenging. It requires complex sensor technology to recognize location, environment, and objects, as well as motor control and power supply design for stable movement.

In addition, unlike existing AGVs that utilize markers, magnets, etc., AMRs are becoming a reality by applying artificial intelligence (AI) based on a robotic operating system (ROS) to enable them to intelligently respond to various signals such as LiDAR, cameras, and GPS, which requires more complex and precise hardware and software technologies.

This Mouser Robotics seminar will feature lecturers from semiconductor manufacturers Analog Devices, AVX, and Vicor, who will introduce how to apply artificial intelligence to implement intelligent robots, comprehensive AMR construction design methods for actual development, and real-time processing technology for sensing data that can communicate with global cloud servers using an 8-bit control board.

“We are honored to be able to host this Mouser Robotics Seminar in Korea as interest in and demand for AMRs continues to grow worldwide,” said Daphne Tien, vice president of marketing and business development for the Asia Pacific region at Mouser Electronics. “One of Mouser’s key goals is to ensure that Korean developers have access to the semiconductors, electronic components, and related support needed to develop various robots, including AMRs.”

Mouser's Intelligent Autonomous Robot Design Online Seminar will be held on September 29th and 30th from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. More information about the seminar can be found on the website.
