A reference architecture for Autonomous Mobile Robots
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) are the next evolutionary step for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and able to move independently from a central infrastructure. Reply and Microsoft have developed a use case for vehicle damage inspection, fully automating the process using Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing and state-of-the-art Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) technology. The solution architecture demonstrates the capabilities of a scalable and versatile robotics platform to automate processes using Machine Learning and Computer Vision.

An end-to-end solution architecture for customer specific use cases
There are multiple different applications where mobile robots are useful. They can be used in extremely hazardous and toxic environments which could be too dangerous for individuals to enter, or to automate routine inspection tasks and data capture safely, accurately, and frequently. Generally, most scenarios are being split into four main categories where the AMR can be used:
