It also features an intelligent autonomous docking system that ensures continuous operation through wireless charging, significantly reducing downtime.
Gessmann – New Autonomous Mobile Robot
Gessmann’s new autonomous GESSbot Gb 350 uses radar sensors and digital maps to precisely navigate along the required routes. It can flexibly adapt to new situations, identify and avoid obstacles, and transport loads of up to 350 kg through both wide and narrow passages. Additionally, Gessmann emphasizes smooth interaction between humans and machines, with the GESSbot communicating with its surroundings via sound systems, displays, and LED indicators. Its battery lasts up to 12 hours.
Pengfei Group & SIASUN – Unmanned Mining Robot
This robot integrates “laser + millimeter-wave” radar technology to achieve high-precision navigation and intelligent path planning. It is equipped with a dual-light gimbal system (“visible light + infrared”) for image and temperature collection, which is analyzed in real-time by an AI recognition system. The robot also features gas detection and sound detection sensors to monitor dangerous gas concentrations and equipment operating sounds. An elevating mechanism ensures adjustable gimbal height, enhancing the robot’s adaptability for inspections. It can operate continuously, replacing workers in equipment inspections to ensure uninterrupted operations and safety.
Jaten Robotics – UGV Unmanned Ground Vehicle
Jaten has launched its latest UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) with a load capacity of up to 1000 kg. This unmanned vehicle integrates 3D panoramic obstacle avoidance technology and features Jaten’s independently developed intelligent navigation system, capable of mapping areas up to 5 square kilometers with positioning accuracy below the centimeter level. It can reach a top speed of 30 km/h, primarily focusing on outdoor logistics scenarios in campus environments.
Gen-song Intelligent – New Counterbalance Unmanned Forklift
The new generation of counterbalance forklift robots (X-FMR) is built on a dedicated platform, supporting indoor and outdoor operations and ride-on models. It can handle large loads of dual-pallet cargo and operates stably on steep slopes with up to a 20% incline. The vehicle features IPX4-level waterproofing, significantly expanding its operating radius, and making it suitable for all-weather use, including in rainy and cold storage environments.
