Mobile Robots (AMR / AGV)

What this is

Mobile robots move on their own to carry goods across warehouses, factories, and large sites.

Why it matters

These robots share space with people, vehicles, and infrastructure. One mistake can cause injury, damage, or shutdowns.

Why governance is now urgent

Logistics and supply chains rely heavily on mobile robots. As numbers grow, so does the need for clear rules, access control, and incident readiness.

What can go wrong
Key facts
Mobile robots are one of the fastest-growing robot categories
Most service robots are now used for transport and logistics
Safety failures often stem from poor usage controls, not hardware faults
