SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., March 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ResGreen Group International, Inc. (RGGI), a next-generation mobile robot and software solutions company, today announced a partnership with WiBotic, a Seattle-based company focused on advanced charging and power optimization solutions for the fast-growing ecosystem of airborne, mobile, space and industrial robots. ResGreen’s LilBuddy Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) can now be programmed to be powered by a wireless charging station — where power transmission begins automatically with no physical connection points — allowing the robots to operate for extended periods without human intervention.
“We are excited to partner with WiBotic to bring wireless charging to our vehicles,” said Parsh Patel, CEO of ResGreen. “WiBotic’s technical support and dedication helped us create the best option for our customers. Wireless charging is changing the materials handling industry by bringing more flexibility to mobile robotic systems.”
ResGreen’s LilBuddy AMR brings automated movement to any organization with its highly optimized, compact size and flexible guidance through natural features. With a footprint of 17″ x 17″, LilBuddy is one of the smallest AMRs in the industry, and the vehicle’s ability to rotate 360 degrees makes it ideal for crowded environments with narrow aisles. New industries and organizations—with smaller footprints than traditional warehouses—can now integrate autonomous robots into their operations. Examples are supermarkets, offices, restaurants and more.
With WiBotic’s wireless charging capabilities, LilBuddy vehicles can be charged efficiently and frequently without worrying about worn charging contacts or the need for precise navigation to charging stations. A wireless station can also charge a variety of vehicles with different battery types, sizes, and configurations that require different voltages and charge rates. In addition, ResGreen’s BotWay software system for real-time monitoring and control of the robots will soon include WiBotic Commander software functionality for greater insight into fleet-wide charging station usage and energy consumption.
“LilBuddy AMRs are remarkable, streamlined robots. Despite their compact size, they can move loads in excess of 220 pounds,” said WiBotic CEO Ben Waters. “They are perfect for navigating smaller spaces and – when integrated with our wireless charging capabilities – offer a compelling, low-maintenance solution for companies looking to introduce autonomous mobile robots into their operations.”
ResGreen also plans to add WiBotic’s wireless charging capabilities to its larger PullBuddy Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in the near future. For more information on ResGreen products, including LilBuddy AMRs, PullBuddy AGVs and Botway software, visit: https://resgreengroup.com/
