AHFE Open AccessAre SMEs Ready for AI Embedded Mobile Robots?
Abstract
The introduction of both mobile robots (MR) and AI-embedded mobile robots (AIMR) into the industry is very slow compared to other types of industrial robots (IR) and automation systems. Many scientific articles and studies are focused on the programming and design of MR. At the same time, integration issues, topical problems and related obstacles are almost entirely absent from the scientific literature. The authors of this paper acknowledge that the complete analysis of this area is a very challenging task. Therefore, for the purposes of this study, we focus on the local problem of analysing the introduction of MR and AIMR in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The authors offer the analysis of the current challenges and trends in the introduction of mobile robots into SMEs. They also propose solutions to these problems based on their own as well as external experience in the design, programming and implementation of mobile robots.
