Cowintech develops AMR spin-turn mechanism
Cowintech, a smart-factory logistics automation company, said on Wednesday it has developed a new direction-change mechanism for autonomous mobile robots that minimises friction during in-place spin turns. It redesigned the existing DD-type wheel drive and turning method by lifting the wheels off the floor during turning sections. The company said this improves driving stability and reliability in repeated operations. Cowintech also cited robot orders of about 30 billion won last year, with 75.3 percent for North America.
