OTTO Autonomy

Overview

OTTO Autonomy, developed by Rockwell Automation, is an advanced autonomous driving software designed to power Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for optimal performance and safety in industrial settings, particularly in dynamic factories.

This intelligent software enables the AMRs to make real-time decisions, enhancing their ability to move materials quickly, safely, and productively in highly dynamic environments.

The software has several notable capabilities. It integrates with LiDAR and 3D cameras to detect surrounding objects and efficiently navigate spaces, aided further by a suite of specialized sensors and a computing component that uses sensor fusion for efficient routing and obstacle avoidance.

The AMRs powered by OTTO Autonomy also have features for localization, being able 'to know' their location in real-time, even in ever-changing environments, which aids in their faster navigation.

Path generation, obstacle detection and avoidance, adaptive fieldset technology, and the OTTO Fleet Manager a platform that works in synchrony with OTTO Autonomy to keep an AMR fleet moving optimally are part of its feature set.

Thus, the software significantly enhances the efficiency of material movement in industrial settings.
