Industry 4.0 and Intralogistics 4.0. are changing the production environment and thus have an impact on AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots). In order to allow the industry to follow the trends with fast, cost-efficient development, Markus Fenn and Prof. Dr. Stefan May have developed Eduard, a teaching and prototyping platform that can be used to map the current trends. Markus Fenn talks about this in an interview with Andreas Mühlbauer.
