Smart Delivery Robot M01
This smart delivery robot is equipped with autonomous navigation that is fully capable of handling the most demanding delivery tasks. The M01 delivery robots are fully customizable for different operating environments such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, warehouses, stores and production facilities. The M01 is able to perform indoor SLAM based on industrial strength LiDAR, without the need for guided magnetic strip or UWB (Ultra-Wideband) in situ installation. M01 is perfect for space constrained areas such as elevators or office corridors and is capable carrying up to 100kg of payload. The M01 comes with a fleet management system that allows customers to monitor every robot and is capable of instant task assignment. It works on public and private cloud while supporting OTA (Over-The-Air) updates.

NKG ChessBoard Material Handling Automated Guide Vehicle (AGV)
At IMTS in Chicago, NKG is unveiling for the first time the capabilities of its ChessBoard robots that automate the entire factory material handling operations. For the past decade, NKG developed a 'Kiva-like' family of ChessBoard robots to fully automate its materials handling delivery system throughout its own factories worldwide, and successfully deployed more than 1000 AGV robots in its operations. This development and global deployment resulted in significant cost savings. NKG uses AGV systems in many of its own factories including China, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Mexico and Brazil. The cost savings are mostly derived by simply improving internal material handling efficiency with cycle times and human resources reduction by saving the efforts of transporting materials back and forth between areas and packing stations.
