The field of autonomous mobile robotics is rapidly evolving, driven by significant technological advances and expanding applications across various sectors. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) leverage sophisticated sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning algorithms to navigate and perform tasks independently in dynamic environments. These technological breakthroughs have enhanced AMRs' capabilities in perception, localization, mapping, and decision-making. Key advancements include improved sensor technologies such as LiDAR, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors, which provide detailed environmental data. AI and machine learning facilitate real-time data processing, enabling robots to make intelligent decisions, adapt to changes, and optimize performance. Additionally, advancements in robotic hardware, including more efficient power systems and lightweight materials, contribute to enhanced mobility and endurance. AMRs are increasingly applied in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and agriculture. In manufacturing and logistics, they streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve safety by automating repetitive and hazardous tasks. In healthcare, AMRs assist in patient care, medication delivery, and sanitation. In agriculture, they enhance precision farming practices, improving crop management and yield. This abstract highlights the rapid evolution of autonomous mobile robotics, emphasizing technological advancements and diverse applications. The continued development of AMRs promises to revolutionize various industries by increasing efficiency, safety, and productivity, ultimately transforming how tasks are performed in dynamic environments.
