January 21, 2013 - Adept Technology announces Lynx, a self-navigating Autonomous Indoor Vehicle (AIV) designed for moving material from point to point in challenging environments that may include confined passageways as well as dynamic and peopled locations. Given the vehicle's intuitive user interface, the system can be customized for various applications and payloads by integrators, distributors, and users alike.
Unlike traditional AGVs, Lynx requires no facility modifications, such as floor magnets or navigational beacons, saving users up to 15% in deployment costs. Additionally, the vehicle includes Adept's software and controls allowing it to intelligently navigate around people and unplanned obstacles, that stop AGVs short. The Lynx AIV supports payloads up to 60kg, utilizes digital map for localization and manages power and self charging operations.
