AMR
autonomous mobile robot
Uses on-board sensors to navigate without physical markers or guides, can learn and respond to its environment and remember its location.
ASR
autonomous security robot
Self-navigates using thermal imaging to enhance safety and security through surveillance and monitoring.
ASRS
