Geek+ relies on Locator from Bosch Rexroth
Geek+ intends to use the Locator software component from Bosch Rexroth for its future logistics solutions. The Locator determines the position and orientation of mobile robots in any environment, without any infrastructure measures.
The companies agreed the cooperation within a few weeks. Geek+ was founded in 2015 and has since sold more than 10,000 robots in logistics applications worldwide.
As a software component, the Locator is independent of the hardware used by a manufacturer. It can be integrated into numerous control systems as an encapsulated function block and supports various laser sensors, including safety lasers. "We checked the technical parameters and were impressed by the industrial maturity, the openness for different hardware configurations and, above all, the simple commissioning of the Rexroth solutions," emphasizes Yong Zheng, founder and CEO of Geek+. The Beijing-based company intends to market further disruptive solutions in the intralogistics sector using the software as part of its mobile robots.
In the Intralogistics Robotics project, Bosch Rexroth is developing various software and hardware solutions for the use of intelligent robots. To commission the locator, all you need to do is press a button and teach the vehicle with a one-off orientation drive. The software generates a dynamic map that is stored either locally on the vehicle or on a server. All vehicles in the fleet access this map. The map automatically adapts to changes in the environment. The Locator software component is already being used by various manufacturers of Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). as
