Skylla Technologies, Inc.

As autonomous mobile robots play increasingly essential roles in automating material handling and machine tending in manufacturing facilities, constant layout change and movement of people and machines pose significant challenges to operating these robots in factories. While many mobile solutions in warehouses and fulfillment centers can handle transporting and other routine tasks, none can meet the stringent agility and positioning accuracy requirements for widespread applications in factories. Skylla’s human-centric Jetstream technology can help businesses accelerate their smart factory transformation initiatives, by deploying Jetstream enabled mobile robots to handle complex tasks in unknown and constantly changing environments. Using data collected from factories and public places, Skylla incorporated a human motion model in the Jetstream controller that can emulate and predict human movements to ensure safe and effective collaboration with people. With direct vision feedback, Jetstream can control a mobile robot’s end effector to within 0.3 mm positioning accuracy, an industry-leading feature.
