Waypoint Robotics Launches MAV3K, a 3000lb Payload Omnidirectional, Autonomous Mobile Robot.
Waypoint adds a new autonomous mobile robot with 3000lb carrying capacity to its line of omnidirectional, industrial strength robots for the manufacturing workforce.
April 8th, 2019 (MERRIMACK, NH) - Waypoint Robotics announces the launch of MAV3K (pronounced Māy-vick), the newest member of Waypoint's industrial grade autonomous mobile robot (AMR) family. MAV3K features a 3000lb carrying capacity and omnidirectional mobility that enables astonishingly smooth and nimble movement of your heaviest materials.
MAV3K comes equipped with Waypoint's easy to use Dispatcher software allowing it to be set up and autonomously operating in under 15 minutes. MAV3K's safe and powerful batteries keep it moving through the longest workday. And Waypoint's EnZone wireless charging system enables MAV3K to charge itself, so you can forget about batteries and charging.
MAV3K's dual safety rated LiDAR sensors, 3 stage safety system and superior autonomous navigation ensures MAV3K will safely find its own way from A to B so you can focus on what you do best.
"We are thrilled to offer the workforce a better tool to move large, heavy materials. We've architected our products from Day 1 with the philosophy of ‘Bobby first.' Bobby is the worker who's been there for years and knows the job better than anyone," said CEO Jason Walker. "We've designed MAV3K so Bobby and workers like him can send it on missions to move the heaviest materials in his factory," he added.
With products like MAV3K and Vector that offer best-in-class navigation capabilities, a heavy-duty metal construction, omnidirectional movement, and fully autonomous navigation, Waypoint continues to provide better robots for real-world manufacturing environments.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
