HD-1500
The OMRON HD-1500 is a heavy-duty autonomous mobile robot designed for industrial material transport, capable of carrying payloads up to 1,500 kg. It features LiDAR-based autonomous navigation, 360° safety coverage, and fast charging, with expected commercial availability in Q4 2026.
Overview and Use Cases
The HD-1500 is a heavy-duty autonomous mobile robot (AMR) developed by OMRON for industrial logistics and material handling. The robot is designed to perform tasks traditionally conducted by forklifts and manual material handlers in warehouse and manufacturing environments. Its primary use case involves autonomous payload transport over extended distances within facilities.
Key Capabilities
- Payload capacity: Maximum 1,500 kg
- Navigation: Autonomous LiDAR-based navigation without requirement for fixed guide paths or magnetic tape
- Safety coverage: 360° safety zone detection
- Speed: Maximum velocity of 1,800 mm/s (1.8 m/s)
- Charging: Rapid charge capability from 20% to 80% battery capacity in approximately 24 minutes
- Fleet management: Integration with OMRON's FLOW Core fleet management software for coordinated multi-robot operations
- Modularity: Configurable top modules to accommodate varied load-handling applications and attachment systems

RobotRelay Delivery Robot
The Relay Delivery Robot is an autonomous indoor delivery robot developed by Relay Robotics (formerly known as Savioke), designed primarily for hospitality and healthcare environments. It navigates hotel corridors and hospital hallways independently, rides elevators without human assistance, and delivers guest amenities, medications, linens, and other supplies directly to rooms or designated drop-off points. Relay is one of the most widely deployed service robots in its category, reportedly completing over one million lifetime deliveries with a publicly cited success rate of approximately 99.8%. With a cargo capacity of around 10 gallons, the robot is compact enough to operate in busy public spaces while carrying a meaningful payload of everyday supplies.

RobotSpot
Spot is a four-legged autonomous robot developed by Boston Dynamics, a robotics company headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. Designed for inspection, security, and data collection in complex or hazardous environments, Spot can navigate stairs, rough terrain, and confined spaces that are inaccessible to wheeled robots. It is commercially available and has been deployed across industries including utilities, oil and gas, construction, and public safety. Spot supports a modular payload system that accommodates thermal cameras, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, lidar units, methane sensors, and other mission-specific hardware. Boston Dynamics also offers the Orbit fleet-management software platform, enabling operators to schedule autonomous inspection routes, aggregate sensor data, and manage multiple Spot units from a central interface. The robot is widely regarded as one of the most capable and commercially mature legged robots on the market.

RobotRealSense Depth Camera D455
The RealSense Depth Camera D455 is a stereoscopic active-infrared depth camera belonging to Intel's D400 series, designed to capture high-fidelity depth data for robotics, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), drones, and computer-vision applications. It features a 95 mm stereo baseline — the widest in the D400 lineup at the time of its introduction — which reportedly enables depth error of under 2% at ranges up to approximately 4 metres. Originally developed under the Intel RealSense brand, the D455 and related products were later spun off as part of an independent RealSense business unit following Intel's restructuring of the division around 2021–2022. The camera is widely adopted in research, industrial automation, and humanoid-robot development owing to its compact USB-powered form factor, open SDK support, and relatively accessible price point.
