AGV reliability meets AMR flexibility. Get the best of both worlds in one hybrid mobile robot navigation system.

 



NODE.move provides advanced mobile robot navigation for any type of robot, combining the strengths of AGV precision and AMR flexibility. With hybrid navigation, robots can either follow strict pre-generated paths (AGV behavior) or dynamically adjust their motion within defined corridors using real-time sensor data (controlled AMR behavior). This ensures consistent task execution while retaining the ability to adapt when the environment changes.

The system integrates 2D layouts, live 3D obstacle data, and vehicle kinematics into a continuously updated path planner. Routes are recalculated within milliseconds, allowing robots to stay on course, avoid obstacles, and operate without manual intervention. Configurable autonomy levels give users full control – from predefined road maps to adaptive navigation – tailored to specific use cases.

 

 



In use cases such as automated material handling and intralogistics workflows, NODE.move enables end-to-end transport task execution, including pick-up, go-to, and drop-off. With built-in VDA 5050 support, the software ensures seamless communication between the robot and higher-level task management, providing reliable, real-time status updates. For additional flexibility, NODE.move includes an SDK to integrate specific behaviors such as custom docking maneuvers.

Commissioning is straightforward: auto-generated road maps reduce setup time, and autonomy levels can be defined per corridor. This makes NODE.move a robust and scalable navigation solution, delivering dependable efficiency across diverse industrial environments.
