Autonomous machines already in use:
While it might seem like we’re looking at a future filled with autonomous machines doing our bidding, there are several solutions already available.
For example, San Jose-based Fetch Robotics has a range of Autonomous Mobile Robots that are able to navigate unpredictable warehouse environments, adjusting routes in real-time to avoid obstacles. This hardware and cloud-based control system uses a simple graphics interface that makes them easy to deploy.
Manufacturing equipment vendors, meanwhile, are already beginning to employ autonomous production technology. Some of these machines offer self-adapt processes to suit changing environments while others are built to offer more flexible production capabilities that better assist humans.

More Than Just Brains:
Autonomous machines are more than just computers on wheels. For some solutions, image sensors, LiDARs and RADARs help with navigation-related information. For others, cloud technology and intelligent power systems are needed to complete tasks.
For the designer, this means relying on experts to not only know all your component options but get advice that is rooted in autonomous machine design experience. Click through to the article to learn more about how companies like Arrow Electronics can help you build your autonomous machine product.
This means that each autonomous machine project will likely involve a wide range of components and subsystems from an equally wide range of suppliers.
