The world of mobile robotics has witnessed monumental changes over the past decade. Manufacturing and logistics led the movement. Now many other markets, including healthcare, commercial floor care, security, and more, are rapidly embracing automation on a global scale. In the new era of automation, mobile robots in the industrial sector have gradually evolved from clunky machinery into autonomous machines with characteristics and features that widen their industrial applications. However, as these robots lack the ability to truly “see” and understand their surroundings, a fundamental question that remains is: “Are these robots really autonomous?” Today, the majority of robots cannot move around freely in real-life environments together with humans. As the demand for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) increases due to their diverse range of applications and overall efficiency, robots need a solution for perception that is robust, accurate, and immune to temporal failures. This is where companies like R-Go Robotics are driving the next wave of innovation.

Currently operating in stealth mode, R-Go Robotics is pioneering a disruptive artificial perception technology that enables mobile robots to understand complex surroundings and operate autonomously just like humans. “Our vision is to enable machines to see and understand their surrounding so they can become intelligent enough to be truly autonomous. R-Go Robotics was founded in 2018 by a team of world-leading experts in artificial intelligence (AI), sensor fusion, and computer vision to deliver on this promise,” says Amir Bousani, Co-Founder and CEO.

R-Go Robotics is changing the game with its Perception EngineTM comprised of patent-pending computer vision and AI technology. It runs on ultra-low-cost, low-power hardware and delivers a complete intelligent autonomy solution for any mobile robot manufacturer. Perception Engine creates human-level perception capabilities, enabling mobile robots to operate with a much higher level of intelligence–both indoors and out. It determines the precise position on a rich, user-friendly map, recognizes obstacles, and understands its local context.

Over time, Perception Engine builds spatial contextual awareness as it learns more about its surroundings. Incorporating just a single camera, the hardware component is elegantly designed for seamless integration into almost any type of mobile machine. “Vision provides a huge amount of information, and our technology uses it to generate the full view and understanding of the environment so we can finally solve the core problem in the market,” explains Bousani.

As an ideal solution for environments where machines and people operate in close proximity, R-Go Robotics takes intelligent navigation and safety to the next level. In addition to sensing and mapping its location, the system can recognize an approaching forklift, for example, and determine an optimized path to avoid a collision while still efficiently moving towards its destination. And as the system continues to navigate an area, it continuously ‘learns’ in order to improve its navigation capabilities and to constantly update the map. Peter Secor, SVP Marketing and Business Development, emphasizes that the human-level perception and intelligence is the biggest added value of the company’s offering. “From consumer to commercial applications, all the way to industrial-grade applications, we are unlocking new applications and use cases that need high levels of perception,” says Secor. R-Go Robotics’ solution can bolster any wheeled robot with intelligent autonomy, including warehouse and manufacturing mobile robots, construction vehicles, robotic lawnmowers, delivery robots, and more.

Today, R-Go Robotics is engaged with some of the world’s leading brands aiming to bring innovative new autonomous robots across existing and new use cases. The first products powered by R-Go Robotics’ technology are set to be launched in the market later this year. Looking ahead, the team aims to scale up and establish its offering into new robotic markets and applications. “We are enabling our customers to take their product to a much broader market by unlocking use cases that were blocked for them due to the lack of autonomy,” states Bousani.
